Review
"Martin's story charges headlong into the sentimental territory--and best-seller terrain--of The Notebook, which doubtless will mean major studio screen treatment. Buy tissues. Tears will flow."—
Kirkus (starred review)"Every word Martin writes seems to be purposefully chosen and adds to the beautiful picture he paints with prose. The characters are so real they radiate from the page. Readers will be moved, touched and changed."—
RT Book Reviews, ****1/2"A spellbinding novel...Charles Martin took the threads of his storyline and wrapped them around my heart. His unforgettable characters captivate as they confront their hidden pasts and build upon their futures with faith, friendship, and grace."

Elin Hilderbrand, author of Beautiful Day on Unwritten"Charles Martin understands the power of story and he uses it to alter the souls and lives of both his characters and his readers. In
Unwritten there is no easy answer and Sunday and Katie must find their way through fire to possibly emerge whole and changed. "One more chapter," you'll say to yourself
, but there won't be 'one more chapter' because
you won't be able to put
Unwritten down."—
Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times bestselling author of And Then I Found You
"I found
Unwritten one of those strangely beautiful, exotically original novels whose substance dawns slowly to the reader's consciousness like a glorious sunrise. Do not start this book unless you have time to savor, reflect, and renew. Do, if you have space to fit a memorable reading experience into your life."—
Leila Meacham, author of Tumbleweeds"Charles Martin's latest novel brings to mind the storytelling traditions of Nicholas Sparks and John Grisham.
Unwritten is a novel for the heart
but it's also one of adventure. From the Florida Everglades to the hills of France, Martin takes the reader on a magical journey of two troubled souls in search of love and redemption.
Unwritten is a page turner and has all the ingredients to become a box office smash."—
Michael Morris, author of Man in the Blue Moon"Charles Martin is an imaginative, gutsy storyteller....
Unwritten is a fast-paced narrative of transcontinental intrigue."—
Karen Spears Zacharias, author, A Silence of Mockingbirds: The Memoir of a Murder"Reading an advance copy of
Unwritten felt like being in on a well-kept secret you just know is destined to blow sky high and leave a mark far and wide. This is what story is meant to be, delivered in prose that will propel you to the next scene, the next page, the next reveal. Charles Martin will pull you into the lives of Katie Quinn, Steady, and Sunday, and you won't even realize their stories are changing yours forever until it's time to leave them on the page."—
