I am naturally very suspicious of anything called a miracle. ![]() One of the things that I really appreciate about this book is the miracles. Her journey with Atretes, Theophilus (I love that Rivers pulls a real life person into the story) and her baby Caleb is beautiful (reading about her son growing up through all of this was very gut-wrenching at times and at others brought a smile to my face).
