Saving Charles

"Larry Matthews creates intriguing and believable characters, and keeps the reader involved in the journey.  Searching for the meaning of life is a universal quest, but Matthews treats us to a unique version, with flawed but fascinating characters who hit their lowest points as they stumble toward their own truths".

The much-anticipated sequel to Healing Charles.


It’s been thirty years since Charles was the most famous young healer in America and the magic is gone.

His life on Paradise Mountain is empty. His marriage is
stale. His children despise him. He’s as lost as he was all those years ago when he left the backwoods for a life that was, for a time, unimaginable.

Now middle-aged, he takes to the road again looking for the magic of his life and reunites with the singer Johnny Jones. Now playing rodeos and bars, Jones is a long way from the days of arenas and screaming fans.

Trying to rekindle the good life of their younger years. Charles and Johnny find instead a drug-dealing spiritual leader charlatan who convinces them to stage a nationally promoted reunion that produces a calamity.

Charles soon finds himself in a federal prison camp, left to ponder his values
and his life, where he seeks the counsel of gangsters and hustlers.

Saving Charles is about a man’s journey to save his own soul after he has healed so many others
