![]() I could tell as I read this how Angie focused on topics that she is well familiar with. Miracle Creek draws on Angie Kim’s own life as a Korean immigrant, former trial lawyer and mother of a real-life “submarine” patient. Who or what caused the explosion? The ensuing trial uncovers unimaginable secrets from that night―trysts in the woods, mysterious notes, child-abuse charges―as well as tense rivalries and alliances among a group of people. But when the Miracle Submarine mysteriously explodes, killing two people, a dramatic murder trial upends the Yoos’ small community. The book starts off with the day that will change so many lives in a small Virginia town. Young and Pak Yoo run an experimental medical treatment device known as the Miracle Submarine―a pressurized oxygen chamber that patients enter for therapeutic “dives” with the hopes of curing issues like autism or infertility. While I feel my review could just say over and over-read this book!!!-let’s take a closer look at it. Part mystery, riveting courtroom drama, character study, a focus of the complicated dynamic between mothers and children, an examination of the immigrant process to the U.S.–there’s so many layers. And it met my expectations and beyond- I was absolutely blown away by this novel. ![]() ![]() And I kept seeing more and more buzz for it so my excitement grew. I first read about Miracle Creek about a year ago and instantly had a feeling it was special. ![]()
