One of the most stunning books I've read in a while. I began in print but switched to audio, and I must say, the audiobook is incredible. With a full cast and narration to match the written dialect, I was fully immersed in this story and the world of this family. I got chills, I cried (several times), and I was utterly captivated. It's a heavy story, but an unforgettable one.

I don't really know what to say about this book except that I did enjoy it. The different perspectives of the miracle and how their lives separated from it were thoughtful and sad.
