Angie Kim gives the reader a supremely masterful unraveling in this tense, psychologically astute, emotionally riveting, suspense-filled literary thriller. Miracle Creek Christmas By Krista Jensen Contemporary Romance Paperback, E-book & Audiobook, 305 Pages Septemby Shadow Mountain When Riley Madigan moves to the sleepy mountain town of Miracle Creek, she hopes her new job as a high school art teacher will help her mend her recently broken heart. Jung Yun, author of the novel Shelter, is an assistant. Kim does a marvelous job in excavating the emotional toll of this move. Miracle Creek is a stunning debut about parents, children and the unwavering hope of a better life, even when all hope seems lost. One idea Kim explores, under-represented in popular culture, is the cost, psychic and spiritual, of leaving one’s homeland to pursue dreams or a 'better' future in the United States.
It’s dense with story lines but never confusing the reader turns pages eagerly, waiting, wondering what could possibly happen next and how it will all resolve. In multiple narratives, we see events from different points of view as they unfold, or as they are recalled, or through statements and mental asides during testimony. As the story begins, the chamber explodes and two people die. In this town, there is a special treatment center, a hyperbaric chamber that may cure a range of conditions. Part family drama, part trial drama, part culture war drama-digging into sensitive topics like parenthood, immigration, infertility, and alternative therapy-this novel is all secrets, secrets, secrets. My Summary: Miracle Creek takes place in a small town in Virginia of the same name. This novel is a stunner, emotionally packed, with separate characters delivering internal plot twists and turns. From the opening pages of Miracle Creek, Angie Kim creates an intense atmosphere of foreboding and suspense, building swiftly to the event that triggers the rest of her debut novel, unraveling so many lives and lies.
