Miracle Girl

When an apparent miracle rocks economically depressed Hudson City, NewYork, John Quinn--whose work for the Roman Catholic diocese has shifted from the space management he loves to property sales--is initially involved just in finding space for the pilgrims pouring into town. They come to see the miracle girl, 30-year-old Sue Phong, the deaf orphaned daughter of a Vietnamese woman and African American soldier, who appeared in the dream of a deaf man whose hearing was suddenly restored. As reports of cures increase, Quinn's life comes crashing down around him: he's betrayed both by his real estate broker buddy (who's reporting Quinn to the IRS) and by the woman he loves (who's carrying on an e-mail relationship with another man). Finally, Quinn's own capacity for betrayal is tested by the miracle girl herself.
