MIRACLE ROAD
Emily March

Romance Contemporary

Lucca Romano, a college basketball coach, arrives in Serenity Springs to be with his family for healing. Lucca is devastated, following a horrendous bus accident with his team. He has been burying himself in booze in an attempt to forget the life lost and life ruined during that accident. His family is determined to help him achieve peace in his life again and find the ability to forgive himself.

Lucca soon meets Hope Montgomery, a kindergarten school teacher, who is secretly learning to cope with a tragedy in her own life. She is now divorced, after being blamed by her husband as the cause for her 5-year-old daughter Holly's kidnapping. No one could possibly throw more blame at Hope than she herself does. As Hope and Lucca help each other in learning to go on with life, they fall in love.

The Romano family, consisting of four brothers, one sister and their mother, along with a small town of close friends and neighbors, are close-knit and supportive of one another. Both Lucca and Hope have hurdles to overcome and peace to make. Just when Lucca believes his miracle has arrived and he and Hope make plans in moving on, a visit from her ex causes her pain, shakes her faith, and places a wedge between Holly & Lucca. Now Lucca must find a way to convince Hope she does deserve a second chance to be happy with a new life and even a new chance at motherhood. With family support and lots of love, miracles really can happen in Serenity Springs.

MIRACLE ROAD is a passionate and beautiful love story of two lost people, learning to overcome their tragedies in order to live again. I found this to be an emotional tear-jerker which required a handful of Kleenex by my side. I am left with a warm feeling of new faith, and that miracles DO happen. Author Emily March is very talented when creating her characters as you live their sadness and despair through her words. I am deeply impressed with Emily March and will definitely search out more of her works.

SUMMARY

Perfect for fans of Robyn Carr and Debbie Macomber, New York Times bestselling author Emily March’s seventh book in the Eternity Springs series is a heartwarming story that celebrates the miracle and joy of love during the holidays. After tragedy strikes his team, college basketball coach Lucca Romano arrives in the haven of Eternity Springs to reassess his life. Even a winning record and big offers can’t dent the wall of guilt that Lucca has built around himself. Nothing canβ€”except maybe a vibrant new neighbor who won’t give up on him. Schoolteacher Hope Montgomery believes in miracles. She has to believeβ€”because giving up would mean crumbling under the greatest loss a parent can endure. Hope understands Lucca’s suffering; she lives it herself every day. However, the high school team needs his coaching expertise, so she sets out to draw him from his cold, solitary shell and into the warmth of life in their small Rocky Mountain town. But when a weak moment leads to consequences that shake Hope’s faith, it’s up to Lucca to put aside his heartache and show the teacher that here in Eternity Springs broken hearts can healβ€”just in time for Christmas.
