Water from My Heart follows Charlie Finn, a gifted but morally untethered man who amasses wealth through illegal dealings while remaining emotionally detached from the damage he causes. When tragedy shatters his carefully controlled life, Charlie flees to Nicaragua in an attempt to make amends. There, among coffee fields and rural communities, he encounters people whose integrity, humility, and faith challenge his definition of success. As Charlie is forced to reckon with guilt and responsibility, the novel explores forgiveness not as erasure, but as transformation earned through compassion and sacrifice.
