The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud by Ben Sherwood
My rating: 5 stars
Summary: In a snug New England fishing village, Charlie St. Cloud tends the lawns and monuments of an ancient cemetery where his younger brother, Sam, is buried. Graced with an extraordinary gift adter surviving the car accident that claimed his brother's life, Charlie can see, talk to, and even play catch with Sam's spirit. Into this magical world comes Tess Carroll, a captivating young woman training for a solo sailing trip around the globe. Fate steers her boat into a treacherous storm that propels her into Charlie's life. Their beautiful and uncommon connection leads to a race against time and a choice between death and life, between the past and the future, between holding on and letting go - and the discovery that miracles can happen if we simply open our hearts.
My take: What a beautiful story! It's a story of second chances and how we shouldn't waste our time on Earth. I loved that it had a happy ending and it makes me want to be a better person just by reading it. Went by really fast because it was so good!
