About This Book
The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud tells the haunting story
of a young man who narrowly survives a terrible car wreck that kills his
little brother. Years later, the brothers? bond remains so strong that
it transcends the normal boundaries separating life and death. Charlie
St. Cloud lives in a snug New England fishing village. By day he tends
the lawns and monuments of the ancient cemetery where his younger
brother, Sam, is buried. Graced with an extraordinary gift after
surviving the accident, he can still see, talk, and even play catch with
Sam?s spirit. But townsfolk whisper that Charlie has never recovered
from his loss.
Into his carefully ordered life comes Tess Carroll, a captivating,
adventuresome woman training for a solo sailing trip around the globe.
Fate steers her boat into a treacherous storm that blows her back to
harbor, to a charged encounter with Charlie, and to a surprise more
overwhelming than the violent sea itself. Charlie and Tess discover a
beautiful and uncommon connection that leads to a race against time and
a desperate choice between death and life, between the past and the
future, between holding on and letting go.
Luminous, soulful, and filled with unforgettable characters, The Death
and Life of Charlie St. Cloud is one of those rare, wise books that
reveal the mysteries of the unseen world around us, gently transforming
the worst pain of loss into hope, healing, and even laughter.
Suspenseful and deeply moving, its startling climax reminds us that
sometimes tragedies can bring about miracles if we simply open our
hearts.
