Miracle Creek: A Novel

Read Miracle Creek: A Novel Storyline:

A thrilling debut novel for fans of Liane Moriarty and Celeste Ng about how
far we 'll go to protect our families―and our deepest secrets

My husband asked me to lie. Not a big lie. He probably didn 't even consider
it a lie, and neither did I, at first . . .In rural Virginia, Young and Pak Yoo run an experimental medical treatment
device known as the Miracle Submarine―a pressurized oxygen chamber that
patients enter for therapeutic "dives" with the hopes of curing issues like
autism or infertility. But when the Miracle Submarine mysteriously explodes,
killing two people, a dramatic murder trial upends the Yoos' small community.Who or what caused the explosion? Was it the mother of one of the patients,
who claimed to be sick that day but was smoking down by the creek? Or was it
Young and Pak themselves, hoping to cash in on a big insurance payment and
send their daughter to college? The ensuing trial uncovers unimaginable
secrets from that night―trysts in the woods, mysterious notes, child-abuse
charges―as well as tense rivalries and alliances among a group of people
driven to extraordinary degrees of desperation and sacrifice.Angie Kim's Miracle Creek is a thoroughly contemporary take on the courtroom
drama, drawing on the author's own life as a Korean immigrant, former trial
lawyer, and mother of a real-life "submarine" patient. Both a compelling page-
turner and an excavation of identity and the desire for connection, Miracle
Creek is a brilliant, empathetic debut from an exciting new voice.
