Book Report - Recovering Charles

Recovering Charles, a novel by Jason Wright.…

Description from the book jacket:
Luke Millward is a man who does not know he is lost. His career is going well; he has the love of close friends; and a future he looks forward to every day.

Only when the past reveals its twisted smile in a phone call and the disconnected voice asks him to come find his estranged father in post-Katrina New Orleans is Luke compelled to find out what kind of man he truly is; and who the man is that his father has become.


I really enjoyed this book. It's a sad reminder of the devastation that took place after Hurricane Katrina, but more importantly, it's a story of forgiveness between a father and son.

There is a song at the end of the book - you can go to the official website (www.recoveringcharles.com) and hear it played. It's lovely.
