The Probability of Miracles / Wendey Wunder / 360 pages

Science is not enough this time for Campbell Cooper.   She has the big C and it has whittled her body down to a size 1.  Her Samoan fire dancer father is dead and her hula dancing/Disney performing mother has an ever -changing array of sleep-in international boyfriends.  When the doctors decree that there are no new treatments or trials available, her mother, Alicia, refuses to give up hope.  She moves the family (Cam & Perry) to Promise, Maine - a place where amazing, unexplainable events (miracles) are said to occur.  That's what Cam needs is a miracle.  She and her best friend, Lily, have written flamingo lists - things they hope to do before they die of cancer.  This is an awesome story of love, hope, reality, and miracles sure to reward all who read it - for mature audiences only!
