Karen S. Chow - Böcker

A glittering debut about life and loss that follows Amie as she learns to heal and move forward over the course of a life-changing year, for fans of When You Trap a Tiger and The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise.Amie has spent her life perfectly in tune with Ba-ba, her father-she plays the violin, his favorite instrument; she loves all his favorite foods, even if he can't eat them during his cancer treatments; and they talk about books, including Amie's favorite series, Harry Potter. But after Ba-ba dies, Amie feels distanced from everyone close to her, like her mother and her best friends, Rio and Bella. More devastating still, she loses her ability to play the violin-the notes that used to flow freely are now stilted and sharp. Will Amie ever find her way back to the music she once loved? With hope and harmony lighting the way-and with help from the people who care about her most-Amie must find the strength to carry on. In the end, she'll learn that healing, while painful, can be its own miraculous song. Praise for Miracle:"A beautifully written debut about family, friendship, and life after loss.
