This does my heart good.  Wish I had been there:

“Passed it [Where the River Ends] on to my sis who read it at the beach this week---as she was finishing it (in tears) the guy came to collect the beach chair cushion---he said “lady are you OK?"---she said yes she was just finishing a great story and he could take the cushion but she was staying right there on the chair until she finished the story and her cry!!!  He left her alone to “enjoy” the ending.”

    I just read Where The River Ends and was struck by the similarities of a page from my life. I will read it again and marvel at the depth of your writing. Thank you so much. I think of the saying,"Better To Have Loved and Lost, Than To Have Never Loved At All.”
    Thank you again for a wonderful story.

    I finished Where The River Ends last night, I was so moved by the entire story.  I am a 3 year breast cancer survivor.  I felt like Charles had written about my inner most fears, Abbie’s advancing cancer is what I actually have had nightmares of happening to me someday. This sounds morbid I know, but one never knows when this horrid disease will surface again, if we are lucky it never will.

    Doss is my husband (though he’s not an artist), but he was by my side from day one, thru multiple surgeries (including a double masectomy), chemo and later reconstruction.  There were days I would wish he would go do something for himself, but I knew he’d never leave.  And he was doing something for himself, he was saving me. 

    Your stories have always touched my heart, but this one touched my soul.  Thank you.

    Keep writing these beautiful stories, I have years ahead of me to enjoy them.

    This book changed my life. With all of the garbage that the publishing world puts out, Charles Martin stays so true to our Southern roots and makes you think of life in the long run. If I had read this book long ago, I wouldnt have been touched so deeply.  In this book, you learn that not only life, but people change in some ways as you get older and not everyone turns out the way you hoped. I cried, laughed and cried some more. No one knows how to write a book better than Charles Martin.

    вспомогательная мужская половая железа, железисто-мышечный орудие, вырабатывающий щелочной причина, входящий в смесь спермы. Протоки простатических желез открываются в простатическую часть мочеиспускательного канала. У пожилых мужчин может наблюдаться умножение предстательной железы (доброкачественная гипертрофия предстательной железы (benign prostatic hypertrophy, BPH)). Это приводит к сдавлению шейки мочевого пузыря, нарушая прохождение сквозь нее мочи. Мочевой пузырь растягивается, давление в нем увеличивается и начинает передаваться ретроградно через мочеточники в почечную лоханку, чашечки и кроме к почечным нефронам, который приводит к их повреждению и нарушению функции почек. В процессе лечения больному назначаются различные лекарственные вещества (см. Финастерид) тож выполняется простатэктомия.

    The Mountain Between Us - Finished within a week of its release and I’m not sure I’ve had a book affect me emotionally as much as this.  I’ve read a few others which brought me to this one and my compliments to Charles for what I feel to be the best yet.  Thanks for the experience, from a Jacksonville native.

    I just finished The Mountain Between Us and continue to marvel at a man who can write with such depth and understanding of emotions.  The image of a relationship ending being like a shattering of stained glass was so vivid and real.  I have read most of your books and each spoke to me in a very personal way.  As a fellow A1A beach lover your scenes along the Atlantic, especially with the turtles fills a niche in my heart.  Keep on writing and touching all of us with your beautiful words.

    Just read The Mountain between Us in less than a day! Couldn’t sleep it was so good. One of the best books I’ve read. I feel like I know Ben and Ashley and Tank, too!  I’m ready for your next novel.

    I gotThe Mountain Between Us late yesterday from our local library and finished reading it today a little after 1:00pm.  I could not put it down and am going to reread it because I was so anxious to turn the next page that I am sure I missed something on the way to the end!  I told a friend at school today that I am sure you are the next Nicholas Sparks--NO!  Just continue to be Charles Martin--you have so much to share and your writing--even if one has been “turned down"--is such a delight in all the twists and turns!  You are so real in your writing--noble to be exact--a sense I cannot find in alot of today’s writings.  Thank you and I look forward to seeing your name again on the jacket of another Charles Martin Book!!

    I read the concise version of the “Mountain” in the Readers Digest Select Editions. After a long time, a story touched deep down.
    I don’t normally write to the authors, but this is an exception. You sound like a person i could be friends with.....
    Thanks for the good story.

    I just finished reading the condensed version of The Mountain Between and once started I couldn’t put it down until I finished it.  Must say this was a tear-jerker for me, especially the revelation that Rachel and the twins had died.  The experience in the mountains after Grover landed it, was very exciting.  The character and tenacity of Ben was so encouraging.  Mankind can be “kind” and compasionate, not afraid to show real feelings.  So many times this gets lost in our search for success.  Success is really failure unless we have love and compassion for our fellow human beings.  This is the first of your books that I have read, but you can be assured I will be looking for the others.  Godspeed.

    In the above comment, “it” shoud read “plane”...I need an editor!  Forgot to say that I have lived in and around Jacksonville, Florida for over 60 years (I’m now soon to be 81) and love to read.

    Jeez...now I can’t spell either.  “shoud” should be “should”.

    I found Where The River Ends at Big Lots and it looked like my type of book.  This is putting it mildly; I read it straight through and was in tears at the end.  You have written one of the most emotionally searing, while at the same time uplifting, book I’ve ever read - and this is from someone who reads constantly.  Will be buying all of your books that I can possibly find in the very near future.  Thank you SO much for such an amazing story.  It’s as if Abbie and Doss are two of my dearest friends - I will honestly never forget them!
