Product Information
Related ProductsPublisher's WeeklyFans of Martin's Christy-nominated debut novel, The Dead Don't Dance (2004),
will be delighted to see this somewhat uneven sequel in which Martin picks up
the story of Dylan Styles, a farmer and junior college instructor. His long
vigil at his comatose wife Maggie's bedside following the stillbirth of their
son has ended with her awakening. Now, life in Digger, S.C., is beginning to
return to normal or so it seems. Together, Dylan and Maggie try to rebuild a
life interrupted, grieve the loss of their son and ponder trying for another
baby. But as the couple pick up the pieces of their relationship, tragedies
perhaps an overabundance of them are just around the corner. "What makes the
broken whole?" Dylan wonders. "How does deep-down pain, interwoven like sinew,
come untangled?" Martin's plot twists, including one involving Pastor John's
past that comes back to haunt him and the people he cares for, may seem like a
distraction from the stronger theme of Maggie and Dylan's own struggles in
taking their marriage forward. One of Martin's many strengths is in his rich
portrayals of people, but he has a penchant for overusing similes, and his
often beautiful writing sometimes needs to be tightened. The ending laudably
offers hope and redemption without too-neat resolution. (Sept. 12) Copyright
