Summary: |
"It begins with a miracle - a baby born too small and too early but defiantly alive. This is Joe. Decades before, another miracle: a seventeen-year-old boy falls in love with his best friend in a nettle-infested garden. The baby grows into a young man, Joe, who longs for a boyfriend and plays the violin magnificently. A young man who is ready to begin. The teenager, having settled into a compromised life after his parents' intervention, starts a family and finds himself a grandfather, Edward. When Joe is diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, his sister Emily and grandfather, Edward, are left waiting for a miracle. A miracle that won't come. Here Comes the Miracle is a profoundly beautiful story about two young men separated by generations, not allowed to grow up as they should; about love and loss; and about the beautiful and violent randomness of life."--Provided by publisher. |
