Miracles for Michael begins when a terrible accident in a strange town leaves nine-year-old Michael Downing alone and his mother hospitalized in a coma. Social workers place him under the charge of two unique women—Samantha Porter and her sister, Hannah Allen. Petite, middle-aged Samantha is known around town as the vivacious woman who rides the Harley D motorcycle. She and her spinster sister Hannah are rich, having for years run the business they inherited. As the two spinster sisters care for him, Michael visits his mother each day in the hospital, singing and reading to her as the doctors use him as a tool to help her regain consciousness. His alert, loving spirit touches the lives of everyone around him in miraculous ways, including Samantha and Hannah and their extended families. It even extends to the social workers and police force, the doctors and hospital staff, the patients, the judge and lawyers, his estranged grandparents, and others. When his unloving grandparents attempt to gain custody of young Michael, his local caregivers resist them in court and help to shape Michael’s future in a series of events which climax on a wonderful, life-changing Christmas day. Miracles for Michael is a fun-to-read, happy-ending novel with numerous twists and sub-plots that readers of all ages truly will enjoy. It’s carefully crafted by a gifted storyteller!
