About this audiobook

An actress running from her past finds escape with a man hiding from his future.
When someone wants to be lost, a home tucked among the Ten Thousand Islands off the Florida coast is a good place to live. A couple decent boats, and a deep knowledge of fishing and a man can get by without ever having to talk to another soul. It's a nice enough existence, until the one person who ties him to the world of the living, the reason he's still among them even if only on the fringes, asks him for help.
Father Steady Capri knows quite a bit about helping others. But he is afraid Katie Quinn's problems may be beyond his abilities. Katie is a world-famous actress with an all too familiar story. Fame seems to have driven her to self-destruct. Steady knows the true cause of her desire to end her life is buried too deeply for him to reach. But there is one person who still may be able to save her from herself.
He will show her an alternate escape, a way to write a new life. But Katie still must confront her past before she can find peace. Ultimately, he will need to leave his secluded home and sacrifice the serenity he's found to help her. From the Florida coast, they will travel to the French countryside where they will discover the unwritten story of both their pasts and their future.

    Unwritten was the most beautiful story with a mixture of solitude to the exotic flair. From culture, history, travel, to fishing and rustic life - from pain to happiness and joy. I have read all Charles Martin’s books and this one ranks a 10! From the characters you will grow to love and connect with as their past hidden secrets unfold along with their pain – keeping you engrossed from the first page to the last. Savor each moment – this would make an awesome movie (can already envision the cast of stars). Since I live in South Florida, loved the setting and have made the trip over the bridge many times on Card Sound Road when I lived in Key Largo.

    To one of my favorite authors – you have a God given talent and thanks for sharing a part of your life and soul with your readers. The dedication to John, your connection, and inspiration – loved hearing these personal thoughts. A must read for men as well as women!

    This suspenseful, elegantly-told story is one of the finest I've read. It opens like a rose, thorns and all, into a beautiful expression of life and humanity at its fullest. Each of the three main characters has a painful past that draws them into one another's lives. I laughed and wept and enjoyed this story. A famous actress, a priest, and a recluse living on a houseboat in the Everglades struggle as they seek to hide their pain and help one another.

    A priest, a recluse, and an actress with the priest being the person who is connected to and the link to both of them. Father Steady helped Sunday with a problem at one time in his life, and now Father Steady needed Sunday to help Katie with her problem. Can he and does he help her especially since Katie is not a likable person and is keeping a secret from the world? Sunday unwillingly agrees to help because Father Steady asked him, but Sunday isn't very keen on the idea of helping a stranger. A stranger who eventually becomes a friend.The first few pages of the book were very evasive, and the intrigue pulled me in immediately. Actually, the entire book was filled with evasiveness, secrets, and characters with secrets and inner struggles. The author's writing style is insightful, brilliant, and a style that draws you in. Mr. Martin's descriptions of characters and landscapes were incredible and beautiful. You will experience amazing detail about the Everglades and bask in the lush descriptions that make you feel as though you are sitting with the characters. You will also get a detailed, guided tour of Paris and the town of Langeais, France. You will be drawn to Katie, the movie star, who was used to nothing but luxury, Father Steady, who can be called her saving grace, and Sunday who gets pulled into it all and doesn't know how or why he did.The book has an uncommon, but exceptional theme. To me the book was addressing the fragility of humans and their choices no matter what their stations in life are and finding oneself using memories as the basis. Memories that in this case were painful. It also addresses the issue of making the best of what life sends your way. The beginning pages were a bit confusing, but indistinct enough to keep you wondering what actually was happening and going to happen. UNWRITTEN is definitely worth what I think was an "on purpose" ambiguity of the first chapter. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, the storyline, and the reflection. This book was profound and powerful. UNWRITTEN is a book that will have you analyzing, reflecting, and examining life. Have some tissues handy for the ending. My final comment is this: The one word you will use and the one I used as I turned the last page is: WOW!! 5/5This book was given to me free of charge and without compensation by the publisher in return for an honest review.

    It was almost unanimous. Unwritten by Charles Martin was a hands down favorite at my book club, Page Turners, last Thursday night. Only one of our members did not give it best book yet status. She did like it, but it was not her all time favorite. Well, it is my all time favorite book by Charles Martin and is getting a rare very highly recommended distinction from me.In Unwritten, Martin takes two very different and very broken people and puts them together to form a unique relationship that doesn’t just bring about healing, but wholeness. The novel is very complex — two unique stories that intersect in crisis and merge into a beautiful narrative that goes beyond good writing into the great. I loved the theme of story as a way to reach people — stories both written and well-known and stories unwritten, but shared in a very personal and intimate manner. Martin’s descriptions of the inner man and the outer world are beautiful, and the characters truly become a part of the reader.Unwritten is one of those books that will stay with me a long time. Near the end is a wonderful metaphor of Christ’s work in broken mankind — wonderfully articulated and achingly beautiful. This one is a must read!Very Highly Recommended.Great For Book Clubs.
