Narrative In Favor Of Books Not in the Heart
A Christy Award winner from the bestselling author of War Room!Truman Wiley used to report news stories from around the world, but now the most troubling headlines are his own. He's out of work, out of touch with his family, out of his home. But nothing dogs him more than his son's failing heart.
With mounting hospital bills and Truman's penchant for gambling his savings, the situation seems hopeless . . . until his estranged wife throws him a lifeline--the chance to write the story of a death row inmate, a man convicted of murder who wants to donate his heart to Truman's son.
As the execution clock ticks down, Truman uncovers disturbing evidence that points to a different killer. For his son to live, must an innocent man die? Truman's investigation draws him down a path that will change his life, his family, and the destinies of two men forever.

Very good!WOW!! One amazing story, one amazing storyteller! I listened to the audiobook and highly recommend this version as the author reads the book and he does a superb job!! This is my second book by Chris Fabry (The Promise Of Jessie Woods being my first and that book also got a five stars from me!). I would give this book more then five stars if I could!! Read this book! Life changing and wonderful. You won't be able to put it down!!
This is a captivating story. Truman Wiley is a down-and-out worldwide reporter who not only is destitute, but alienated from his wife and two children. He agrees to write a book about a death row inmate charged of murder in exchange for the accuseds heart upon execution. Truman feels he can gain restitution by trading the book for the heart for his dying son. The twists and turns of the continuing story is engrossing enough to keep interest until the surprising ending. Chris Fabrys writing is
*coughs* *sputters* WHAT WAS THAT ENDING?! I kinda saw it coming? Like, for a split second? But...like...it actually HAPPENED. *flails*Truman's sarcastic narrative was hilarious, though.
Thats it. After three Chris Fabrys books, hes my current fav. This was a great story... and with an audible gasp ending. Wonderful! Keep it up, Chris. You weave a fabulous tale and your characters are SO well developed!
Very good!
As per usual, I read this in 24 hours. I can't put down Fabry's books. He brings a unique depth to his original novels and hits emotions hard. This one didn't hit me quite as hard as I expected, which helped me relax and enjoy it a little more. I loved it. Laughed at it. Appreciated the array of characters and that gripping premise--a man on death row who could be innocent trying to donate his heart to a dying teen.
