This book had me hooked from the very beginning - starting with a belief in miracles. I loved the stories, I loved all the little nuanced ways of connecting with people and building community. The author talks about every encounter with passion, humour, and genuine love. If you‘re a writer or a storyteller this book will show you how to tell stories from the heart.

Goudge has a distinct way of creating very human characters. Villains are ordinary people led astray by the need for power and survival. Good characters are motivated by a deep love of something greater than themselves. Each have temptations and the power of choice. Characters, whether primary or secondary, are at times both pitiable and relatable, and make the reader question what we would do when faced with similar circumstances.
