The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud
By Ben Sherwood
You only think
that life begins at birth. A tragic accident and a moment shared
in death with his little brother Sam shapes life for years to come
for Charlie St. Cloud. A promise keeps them tied in life and death.
Charlie grieves for his little brother and devotes his life to working
in the cemetery where Sam is buried. There are things in Waterside
Cemetery that only Charlie can see.
Tragic events in a little seaside
town in Massachusetts draw Charlie into a life he's been avoiding.
An independent woman named Tess threatens to alter everything. Charlie
sees more than he ever thought possible after meeting her and it
will send him reeling in a new direction. Can Charlie keep his promise
to Sam without letting go of him but find the love he has lived
without? Does he have the courage to let go of Sam?
What a wonderful way to introduce the possibilities
of how life and death intertwine. Can the people you lose in death
come back to reach out to you in ways you don't recognize? If you've
ever lost someone this book is something that will make you wonder
about the possibilities. This will be one of my all time favorite
stories for years to come. After reading this book you'll find out
that sometimes life doesn't start until after death.
