Miracle Creek, by Angie Kim

4.0

This is a REALLY well written book, with amazingly developed characters. It tells the story of seven people and their involvement with a fire at a HBOT facility (essentially a place where people could come and receive oxygen therapy) that killed two people. As the story begins, one of the seven people, Elizabeth, is on trial for deliberately setting the fire and killing her son, Henry, and her friend, Kit. As each person’s perspective is told, the reader is given more information about what really happened the day of the fire, and who is actually to blame. It also touches on the trials and tribulations of being an immigrant in the United States and of having a disabled child. It’s definitely a slower read, but whenever I picked it up, I found myself quickly drawn in.
