I borrowed Jonathan Miles' book Anatomy of a Miracle from the Cloud Library. Since this book was listed under medical fiction I figured it was fiction. When a army soldier is paralyzed in Afghanistan from an exploding land mine left by the Russians, you would think it a miracle when four years later, living in Biloxi, Mississippi, he gets up out of his wheelchair and walks again. The veteran's name is Cameron and he is as confused as everybody else. When his doctors can give him no medical explanation, he begins to think it is a miracle that he can use his legs again. My favorite part of the story is Cameron and his relationship with his sister, Tanya, who has always had his back. Tanya is a force to be reckoned with. She talks too much and she has no filter but she is loyal to her brother. The truth of the matter is Cameron's story is not fiction. He and Tanya are real people living what some claim to be a miracle. This was a very easy and enjoyable book to read.
