Product Description

They have one summer to find what was lost long ago.

"Never settle for less than the truth," she told him. But when you don't even know your real name, the truth gets a little complicated. It can nestle so close to home it's hard to see. It can even flourish inside a lie. And as Chase Walker discovered, learning the truth about who you are can be as elusive--and as magical--as chasing fireflies on a summer night. A haunting story about fishing, baseball, home cooking, and other matters of life and death.

Chasing Fireflies: A Novel of Discovery

This is the second book I've read by this author, and I'll be checking out more! I really enjoy his character development, and the mystery kept you on your toes a bit as well - you knew "who," but "how" kept you reading for more.

story line was good, kept me interested but at times it was just a tad bit too technical with the medical information. I was a little confused by the ending - it could have been written better. Overall, I enjoyed the book though.

Charles Martin writes with a grandeur that's unparalleled. His characters are well-developed, his writing style easily read, the stories are unforgettable. Buy his books! You will not regret it.

I loved this book and have now read all of charles martins' books so far. They are deep and soul searching, they make you think and make you "see" the written words....

Beautiful Story of Redemption, Love September 17, 2008

What a wonderful book. I've now read three of Martin's books and love each one more than the one before. His tales are crafted in such a way that you feel the characters' pain, joy, hope and sorrow. Chasing Fireflies is a love story on so many levels. But is also a story of greed, mistrust, misplaced trust, sorrow and happiness. It's one of those books that gives you a warm feeling; a feeling of hope for the hopeless and love for the unloved. I believe this one was even better than When Crickets Cry--and I really liked that one! Charles Martin is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors.
