This book is truly what it claims to be: A Novel of the Heart. Seven-year-old Annie needs a new heart, but the wait for one is painful and financially prohibitive. Reese becomes acquainted with her as she sits by her lemonade stand trying to raise money. The scar on her chest reveals her secret, but Reese's secret ability to help her stays hidden behind scars he carries from his past. Before it's all over, both realize the painful reasons why crickets cry.
I enjoyed reading this book because of the setting and the plethora of information about the human heart. Some might say that it is predictable. Still, the Christian perspective and faith of the characters are spiritually uplifting and gratifying. Hearts are healed in more ways than one.
