Jennalyn is trying to get by before her grief consumes her.
Now almost a year after her sister's death and her fiance's
desertion she is no closer to coming to terms with things.
Sabrina before she passed away along with Ryland Davids, an
administrator for Riley Hospital where Sabrina died, put
together a plan to bring Jennalyn back to the living.
Jennalyn would co-ordinate a Month of Miracles for kids who
had been through a very bad time. Ryland would choose the
recipients from all the patients. Jennalyn throws herself
wholeheartedly into doing these events and Ryland is there
by her side through it all. For each event Ryland gives
Jennalyn a rock to add to the collection she started with
Sabrina. Now that it's time for the last event Jennalyn
tells her assistant that she can not attend it's too much.
Ryland keeps hoping that she will show so he can give her
his last and final gift.
When she is asked to do the Month of Miracles, Jennalyn
wants to say no because she does not want to go into the
hospital again. She fears seeing the wagon she donated in
Sabrina's name, or meeting the nurses who cared for her
sister. As the relationship grows between Jennalyn and
Ryland, she sees a compassionate man but also a haunted man
and is able to give him some help too. Ryland understands
her grief having lost his daughter when she was an infant.
There are so many emotions depicted in this book, parts had
me chuckling and parts brought tears to my eyes. HER MIRACLE MAN
is written with a deep sensitivity to those who have
suffered a loss in their lives. It is well worth the time
to read
this one. It's the first book I have read by Ms. Duncan and
I can tell you it won't be my last. I would highly recommend
HER MIRACLE MAN.
Children’s hospital administrator Ryland Davids was
attracted to event planner Jennalyn James the moment he saw
her. He thought there would be plenty of time to get to know
her—until her younger sister, Sabrina, was admitted with
complications from traumatic brain injury.
Sabrina’s bright courage broke through Ryland’s wall of
professional distance, but once she drew her last breath,
Jennalyn left the hospital and never returned. Though he
understands her need for distance, there’s a hole in his
heart that won’t heal. And a last wish from Sabrina he’s
honor-bound to deliver.
When Jennalyn comes face to face with Ryland at a charity
event, the pain comes rushing back, threatening to shatter
her everything’s-fine façade. It doesn’t help that the lump
in her throat is mostly her heart, leaping in response to
his touch.
Despite her reluctance to return to the scene of her grief,
she fulfills Sabrina’s final request to plan a series of
Christmas events for the kids. Over the course of A Month of
Miracles, Ryland and Jennalyn discover there’s the light of
hope at the end of grief’s dark tunnel. But it may not be
enough to heal her broken heart.
