Holiday | Romance

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.

SUMMARY

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.
