Booktalking "Miracle" by Elizabeth Scott
Megan is the lone survivor of the Flight 619 crash. Memories of the disaster and aftermath are conspicuously absent when she awakes in the hospital. Her parents exude feelings of happiness and insecurity, and her brother, David, resents her. Friends Jess and Lissa are ecstatic to have her back.
Megan cannot tolerate her life. She dislikes being constantly referred to as a "miracle." She feels as though she is outside of herself, and things are not the same as they used to be. Countenances of dead plane passengers haunt her, who she wishes fervently that she could have saved. She relives the aftermath of the crash repeatedly; burning flames and images of herself running through the forest eclipse her existence.
Well, at least there is Joe—that extremely attractive neighbor whom she never seemed to be able to utter a word to before the incident. Now, talking to him seems quite natural... the only thing that seems natural to Megan anymore.
Miracle by Elizabeth Scott, 2012
