About this audiobook

The moving sequel to bestselling author Charles Martin’s The Dead Don’t Dance. After slipping into a four-months-long coma following the tragic loss of their son in childbirth, Dylan’s wife, Maggie, finally awakens—but can the young couple pick up the broken pieces of their lives and move forward?

In a sleepy rural town in South Carolina, Dylan and Maggie Styles were a young couple in love, preparing eagerly for the birth of their first son. When the child was delivered stillborn and Maggie hemorrhaged and slipped into a coma, Dylan’s entire world shattered, but he never gave up hope that she would awaken. And four months later, she did.

“When Maggie opened her eyes that New Year's Day some seventeen months ago, I felt like I could see again. The fog lifted off my soul, and for the first time since our son had died and she had gone to sleep–some four months, sixteen days, eighteen hours, and nineteen minutes earlier–I took a breath deep enough to fill both of my lungs.”

Life begins again for Dylan when his beloved wife wakes, but so many things have changed. In this poignant love story that is redolent with Southern atmosphere, Dylan and Maggie must come to terms with their past before they can embrace their future.

    I’ve read all the Charles Martin books I can find and I’ve enjoyed all of them. This one is my favorite. Martin weaves a story that will leave you deeply feeling the emotions of his characters. The love, trials, and redemption found within the pages of “Maggie” will you have your heart.

    The characters in Maggie had depth, dimension and rich, believable lives. Nothing was pat, contrived or prettified and you aren’t prosthelytized. There is rich language and interesting dialogues. It is not predictable.

    "Sequel to The Dead Don't Dance - Could not put it down! Charles is one of my favorite authors - a master craftsman very similar to Nicholas Sparks - engaging story about healing and the triumph of love. A gifted writer and insightful...I look forward to reading more of his work! "

    The continuation of "The dead don't dance", this book focuses on what happens after Maggie comes out of her coma. This is about two people very committed to each other in their marriage even though they are going through some significant struggles. This is also about the community of friends who support them. My favourite quote: `Just because something is broken doesn`t mean it`s no good. Doesn`t mean you throw it away. It just means it`s broken and broken is okay. I wanted to tell her that broken is still beautiful, still works, still wakes me in the morning, and at the end of every day past and those to come, I can love broken.``

    I didn't really enjoy this book very much. There is Maggie who loses a baby and goes into a coma and has more bad luck down the road. Dylan is the loving husband, also grieving. THey try to adopt but get nowhere. There are burned down houses, tatooed bad guys and Bryce, the ubelieveable rich nut case who lives on many acres and suffers from some horrors in viet nam.

    I read this because it was the sequel to The Dead Don't Dance. I had to find out what happened to Maggie. I didn't like it as much as the the first book, but I read it to the end. Charles Martin is a gifted author who writes stories filled with hope, and yet doesn't always tie things up neatly in the end. I will continue to read his books.

    Great book about love and hope. A little different from TDDD, in there was a lot more action to hold this story together. Excellent book, excellent writing.
