The Probabilty of Miracles

The Probability of Miracles by Wendy Wunder














Campbell (Cam) has been in and out of hospitals with cancer, but she is the only one in her family who has accepted the fact that she will not survive.  Her mother searches for a "miracle" to cure Cam, and when she finds out about Promise, Maine, where miracles happen, they leave Disney World where her mother is a Polynesian dancer to find a cure for Cam.




Cam is pessimistic about moving to Promise, but after her best friend Lily sends her a list of things Cam needs to do before she dies (kind of like a bucket list), she begins to see the miracles that can occur. Lily also plays a joke on Cam by applying to the Make a Wish Foundation, in which Cam and ten of her friends can visit Disney World.  Oh, the irony. 

This is not a tear jerker like The Fault in Our Stars, but it was a nice read to help me see the miracles around me and to believe in the possibility of miracles.
