Synopsis: We take many things for granted—but having a heart isn't one of them. Paul Cardall is an internationally acclaimed pianist whose career has been an inspiration to millions. But before the awards and success, he was just a little boy with half a functioning heart.
Numerous surgeries and many decades later, Paul is building a successful career despite the limitations his condition have infringed upon him. Now a husband and father, it seems that Paul has everything he could have ever hoped for...until his heart begins to fail.
As time passes, the pressure of his waning health and the seemingly endless wait for a new heart test not only Paul's faith, but his marriage and relationships as well. He begins to wonder if luck will ever be on his side or if it's time he let the curtains fall in what could be the final act of his life.
Though characters and places were fictionalized for storytelling purposes, the main events in the duology are real. Drawn from private notes and journals made available to the author, The Broken Miracle is a riveting story that will take the reader on an unforgettable journey.
Review: If you are wanting a book that will make you sob, this is your book. The book is very heartbreaking and it deals with a lot of things revolving around loss and hopelessness, but also miracles and hopefulness. I felt that the book was very well done and very well written. I really liked the character development and how the characters interacted with each other. I felt that that was very genuine in how they talked and interacted with each other. I also really like the world building and I felt like the plot hooks you in and doesn't let you go until you finish it and you are a sobbing mess on your bed.
the only really issue I had with the book is that the pacing can be a little bit slow. The pacing doesn't need to be slow for this book, but I am a very fast reader and when I get into a mood I really want to get done with the book so pacing is really hard for me.
Verdict: I cried.
