Miracle Creek is a powerful debut about the lengths we would go to in order to keep our families and our darkest secrets safe. It is a literary courtroom thriller about an immigrant family and a young single mother convicted of murdering her autistic son.
Young and Pak Yoo operate the Miracle Submarine, an experimental medical treatment device, out in the remote community of Miracle Creek, Virginia. In addition to being a pressurised oxygen chamber where patients go for therapeutic "dives," it is also a storehouse of hopes and dreams: the hope of a mother that her child will grow up to be like other kids; the hope of a young doctor who is desperate to end his infertility and save his marriage; and the dream of the Yoos, Korean immigrants who came to the US to improve the life of their teenage daughter.
All these hopes come crashing down when the oxygen chamber bursts inexplicably, killing two individuals; the subsequent murder trial reveals unfathomable secrets and falsehoods. Angie Kim transforms the traditional genre of courtroom drama in Miracle Creek into something entirely unique, compelling, and downright genuine by drawing on her own experiences as an immigrant, a lawyer, and the mother of a real-life "submarine" patient. This captivating book has a captivating new voice.
