When Crickets Cry

<P><B><I>A man with a painful past. A child with a doubtful future. And a shared journey toward healing for both their hearts.</I></B></P><P>It begins on the shaded town square in a sleepy Southern town. A spirited seven-year-old has a brisk business at her lemonade stand. But the little girl's pretty yellow dress can't quite hide the ugly scar on her chest.</P><P>Her latest customer, a bearded stranger, drains his cup and heads to his car, his mind on a boat he's restoring at a nearby lake. The stranger understands more about the scar than he wants to admit. And the beat-up bread truck careening around the corner with its radio blaring is about to change the trajectory of both their lives.</P><P>Before it's over, they'll both know there are painful reasons why crickets cry . . . and that miracles lurk around unexpected corners.</P>
