Synopsis

What exactly is a miracle? That’s the question three women--each of whom experienced something extraordinary in her life--try to answer. Joan's son survived a catastrophic illness. Katie escaped a notorious serial killer. And Meb's 6-month-old daughter had suffered abuse and was now blind. The Miracle Chase is the story of how they went on a quest to discover what the great religions can tell us about miracles, why some people are blessed with miracles, and how anyone could believe in miracles in an age of science. In the process, Joan, Katie, and Meb transform a friendship into a spiritual odyssey. New in paperback.

From Booklist:

Three mothers, who also happen to be best friends, agree to explore the subject of miracles as documented throughout history, in the context of world religions, and in their own lives. The process of writing a book on the topic involves a 10-year journey that is life changing and enriching and that helps them to cope with tragedies, near-death experiences of loved ones, divorce, relocation, and building new lives. One of the authors, Hill, states that for her, chasing miracles has become both a “passion” and “a new spirituality—empowering me to dispel the cynicism of my life and embrace the challenge of becoming better.” This book illustrates the awe-inspiring power of friendship and spiritual connection and offers a precious new way of regarding the opportunities and challenges of life. --Susan DeGrane
