Tending the grounds of an island church with no parishioners, retired priest Murphy Shepherd voyages down the Intracoastal waterway to scatter a friendâs ashes before agreeing to help a woman whose daughter has been abducted into the world of trafficking. - HARPERCOLL
A riveting story of heroism, heartache, and the power of love to heal all wounds by New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin.
Murphy Shepherd is a man with many secrets. He lives alone on an island, tending the grounds of a church with no parishioners, and heâs dedicated his life to rescuing those in peril. But as he mourns the loss of his mentor and friend, Murph himself may be more lost than he realizes.Â
When he pulls a beautiful woman named Summer out of Floridaâs Intracoastal Waterway, Murphâs mission to lay his mentor to rest at the end of the world takes a dangerous turn. Drawn to Summer, and desperate to find her missing daughter, Murph is pulled deeper and deeper into the dark and dangerous world of modern-day slavery.Â
With help from some unexpected new friends, including a faithful Labrador he plucks from the ocean and an ex-convict named Clay, Murph must race against the clock to locate the girl before he is consumed by the secrets of his pastâand the ghosts who tried to bury them.Â
With Charles Martinâs trademark lyricism and poignant prose, The Water Keeper is at once a tender love story and a heartrending search for freedom.Â
 âCharles Martin fans rejoice, because heâs done it again . . . a multilayered story woven together with grace and redemption, and packed tight with tension and achingly real characters.â âLauren Denton, USA TODAY bestselling author of The Hideaway
