"Heart and emotion are on full display in this thoughtful and often overwhelming story of love, loss, and forgiveness." -Sublime Book Review
When a woman begins finding notes from her comatose father, miracle fever takes over the town. This touching story explores the strength of a father's love.
A miracle has come to Sparkling Pond, Minnesota.
Memorable objects from Aspen Collins' childhood are appearing in the town square, accompanied by notes in her father's handwriting. The notes relate to things happening in her life now. But that's impossible-Aspen's father is in a coma.
The miracle brings chaos in the form of a ghost hunter, three different factions of people with conflicting beliefs about the miracle, and a television reporter who Aspen finds herself falling for. But when everything comes to a head, an impossible choice must be made. And the consequences of either decision could be too much to bear.
An enchanting follow-up to Siple's award-winning debut, The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride, The Town with No Roads is a story of forgiveness and redemption that explores whether unconditional love should hold us close or set us free.
