Grace has a wonderful man.  Michael is the love of her life and she couldn’t be happier.  Well, she could, if only her family would accept him.  You see, Grace comes from an Italian catholic family, and Michael is Irish and a bit of an agnostic.  He is a scientist and is working in the gene department, which Grace’s family is very much against.  So, for now, Grace goes to her family without Michael and Michael has to accept this.  Grace hopes that one day they will see how wonderful Michael really is.  Then tragedy happens and Michael is diagnosed with cancer, and a very special trip changes their entire lives and they find out that a very special miracle changes not only their lives but also everyone’s around them. 

The first thing you need to get before you read this book is a box of tissues.  This is emotion packed but without being mushy or clichéd.  Ms. Frank has given her reader a very down to earth, gritty story of real life with a good dose of faith thrown in.  Her characters are multi-dimensional, the plot is well paced and interesting and once the reader starts this book she will not be able to put it down.  This reviewer enjoyed this book enormously.  Ms. Frank tells not only a really good story, she has brought up some rather touchy subjects and dealt with them in a very straight forward, sometimes humorous way that doesn’t preach at the reader at all.  Altogether a wonderful, heart-warming tale that this reviewer can highly recommend.
