The Probability of Miracles is a very special book. It made me cry which is always a good sign because it means I grew to love the characters. The story is about Cam, a seventeen year old with cancer. She’s been fighting and surviving for years until she receives the news that there isn’t anything more the doctors can do. Medically, they’ve reached the bottom of the barrel.
Cam deals with the news in a typical Cam way. She acts tough and strong. Her mother decides to take Cam and her younger sister to a town in Maine that is known for it’s miracles. Cam doesn’t believe in Miracles but she is charmed by the odd little town and quickly sets about making miracles for other people.
This story is really, very lovely. The characters are all fantastic and really feel authentic. Wendy Wunder created a little town that I’d like to visit. One where the sun rises and sets in the same place, dandelions are purple, and whales leap at the same time every night. This story will make you wish for a miracle too.
