“Personal tragedy meets the tragedy of our time in Roe’s winning debut novel…Roe’s story, with its careful unfolding, looks behind the psychology of the ‘victim soul’ to examine why it is that needful people crave miracles in the first place…Though an old question, Roe’s story feels just right for our desperate and despairing time, when a miracle—any miracle—will do, and when Anabelle may have been better off, after all, not to know what was going on on this side of the curtain…Lively, pitch perfect, and assured. Readers will be wanting to hear more from this writer.”
