Seventeen-year-old Cam Cooper has spent the last five years in and out of hospitals, so she can be forgiven for not believing in miracles. But her mother and sister refuse to give up hope, and when they hear of a place in Maine where impossible things are said to happen, fish raining from the sky, purple dandelions, sunsets that never end, they pack up and head there for one last seaside summer. The town is called Promise. There, between a half-mad donkey, a rescued puppy and a mysterious boy named Asher, Cam slowly begins to let her guard down, and to wonder whether she might just believe in first love, in herself, and even in miracles after all. A bittersweet, funny and tender story about living fully in whatever time you are given.
