Since Leannes unexplained cure, thousands of people gather in her small town every year to celebrate her miraclea miracle she doesnt remember but still accepts as realmost of the time. When teen pitching phenom Braeden Dalisay moves into the house across the street from Leanne, he harbors a chip on his shoulder even larger than his athletic talent. Forced to spend the summer in the same law office, he and Leanne carry on a working relationship that vacillates between stormy and silent. But Braeden carries a deep wound and is skeptical of Leanne. Leanne wants to help Braeden and his family heal as much as she wants a relationship with him. More than that, she wants a miracle for Braeden.
