The Discovery - By Dan Walsh

The Discovery tells the story of Michael Warner, whose grandfather, literary giant Gerard Warner, leaves him his Charleston estate. An aspiring writer himself, Michael settles in to write his own first novel and discovers an unpublished manuscript his grandfather had written, something he'd kept hidden from everyone but clearly intended Michael to find. Michael begins to read an exciting tale about Nazi spies and sabotage, but something about this story is different from all of Gerard Warner's other books. It's actually a love story.

As Michael delves deeper into the story he discovers something that has the power to change not only his future but his past as well.

My Thoughts: Dan Walsh is hands-down one of my new favorite authors. When I finish one of his books I can't wait for the next to come out, and I've gotten a handful of my family members addicted to his novels too. I have compared him to Nicholas Sparks for the Christian book enthusiast. I have been reading a lot of Nicholas Sparks's novels lately, and have to admit I prefer Dan's books to his. This book, while being different from his others, still captivated me. While not outright a "romance" novel, Dan writes about stories and history between generations in his novels, and this is no exception. I'm always drawn in by the storyline and the characters and both dread and anticipate the last chapter, because when it's over.
