Publisher's summary

A mysterious phone call compels Luke Millward to look for his estranged father in post-Katrina New Orleans. This riveting story of hope and healing, of finding love and, above all, faith is for every family who's had its share of tough times; for anyone who regrets things never said; for everyone who needs to know that life has a second verse.

Critic reviews

" Recovering Charles is a riveting story of hope, healing, and above all, faith. I was profoundly touched by seeing my own struggles reflected in its pages and inspired by its message that life can always have a second verse." (Glenn Beck)

Loss brought to life

A gripping tale of the chaos Katrina left in her wake. Yet finding new life and healing in the people. Amazing book! A gripping tale of an emotionally, arduous journey.

Loved this story

I read the book then purchased the Audible recording. I loved how the author wove together the wounds of a son, the grief of a father and redemption found in the aftermath of a natural catastrophe. It was skillfully tied together. Healing comes in all forms. This story was great. The recording of the song, however, was pretty bad. It was warped like a vinyl record exposed to extreme heat.

Did NOT Like It...

I have read other books by this author and liked them. I had never listened to one until now. The author narrated the book and he was awful. If I had never "listened" to a book before I would not want to again after this one, and I have hundreds of books in "my library" at audible. Maybe I did not listen long enough but the story which was supposed to be about "recovering Charles" seemed to dwell too long on playing musical instruments in Junior High . At Any rate the poor narration put an end to me "Recovering Charles" because I did not want to waste any more time on it .
