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.

Joan Hill was president of the Foundation for Osteoporosis Research and Education for ten years. She lives in Pebble Beach, California. Katie Mahon is a three-time past president of the San Francisco Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, which she helped take from a grassroots movement to a million-dollar organization. She lives in New York City. Meb Phillips was the “mother” of the groundbreaking California Trustline Registry, legislation that affected childcare in California and the nation. She speaks regularly at conferences and at state hearings, and has appeared on local and national television, dozens of talk shows including Oprah!, and has been featured in national magazine articles. She lives in Walnut Creek, California.
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
