When a blizzard hits a sleepy Vermont town, creating a scene so tranquil no one suspects the tragedy to come,? begins “a heart-tugging story of love and redemption that is surprisingly powerful” (People).

Expect a miracle...

Barbara Delinsky’s “heart-tugging” (People) national bestseller resonates far beyond the extraordinary love story at its heart. Entwining courage, small-town community, and the magical consequences of second chances, this brilliantly imagined tale explores the exhilarating question: What if wishes really could come true?

When waitress Bree Miller awakens in the hospital following a blizzard in tiny, picturesque Panama, Vermont, she can’t recall the near-tragedy that landed her there. But she’s overcome with the certainty that she has been granted three wishes... Can they be real? Are the things Bree longs for—a home, a soul mate, a family—now within her grasp? One of her wishes seems to have come true already: at her bedside is Tom Gates, a renowned author who’s come to town to make sense of his fame—and who, as the accident’s only witness, now makes Bree his cause. As Bree and Tom consider their hearts’ deepest desires, they discover that they will have to take unimagined risks to truly live their dreams.

This was a kind of modern-day fairytale, where the characters and the story never achieved any sort of reality for me. Hero and heroine, their love for each other, all was perfection. I never found myself engaged by the story, or the characters. It’s too bad, because there were lots of elements that had real potential: Julie’s story as the mother who abandoned Brie almost at birth because her MIA husband was found, Tom’s drive to succeed and his neglect of his roots and his family, the people of this close-knit Vermont town.
The narrator was skilled and I could easily differentiate among characters. But she often voiced people with a sort of plaintive tone, I guess designed to add that element of pathos to the fairytale. I found it grating after a while.
I love so many of Barbara Delinsky’s books I really tried to enjoy this one, but I can’t recommend it. But of course, that may just be me. Others might love it.
