Publisher Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Wednesday Letters and The Cross Gardener, a story of small kindnesses-and life-changing miracles. Seventeen seconds can change a life forever. This is what Rex Connor learned on a gorgeous summer afternoon in 1970 when, as a lifeguard, he diverted his gaze for seventeen seconds and tragedy occurred. Forty years later the waves of that day still ripple through the lives of countless people, including his son, Cole. Cole Connor has become a patient teacher, and now he has invited three struggling teenagers to visit him on his front porch to learn about Rex Connor—and the Seventeen Second Miracle. Together they will learn how Rex Connor could have allowed seventeen seconds to destroy him, but instead he chose to live every day believing the smallest of acts could change the world for good. And the students, each with their own secrets and private pains, will begin to understand that even tragedy brings lessons. Even pain brings comfort. Even death brings miracles. A seventeen second miracle can change a life—if you let it.

    " This book had a good theme ("treat each other well", I suppose)but it was a little too Pollyanna for my tastes. "

    " Am I just simply weary of the Jason Wright formula...contrived, manipulative in a "heart-warming" way?? Feeling generous, I think that he is improving with experience, but HEY...it's a super quick read with a nice message should you choose to wade through the style to find it. "

    " I liked the idea of 17 second miracles, but the whole premise of the story seemed unbelievable to me. There is no way my parents would have let me go meet with a total stranger for "lessons" when I was a teenager. "
