But when someone Rosie loves goes missing, she just might discover that the true Miracle of Glimmer Creek is much different than shed always believed and that the relationships she holds dear are the most fortunate gift of all.

Reviews

"Every bit as magical as the Miracles the town is famous for. Stacy Hackney explores faith, family, and community with humor and heart in this lovely debut." -- Cindy Baldwin, author of WHERE THE WATERMELONS GROW
The true miracle of Glimmer Creek is Rosies tenacity and the strength she draws from her friends and family along the way. -- Sean Easley, author of THE HOTEL BETWEEN
"By turns gripping and suspenseful...and also emotionally insightful, the story weaves together small-town lore (a 100-year-old skeleton, lost treasure) with a strong sense of community in which love, kindness, and faith quietly emerge. Readers will be caught up as the lens through which this likable protagonist sees her world expands." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Part realistic fiction and part mystery, this character-driven book is a good read for kids who enjoyed Ingrid Laws Savvy and Natalie Lloyds A Snicker of Magic." -- School Library Journal
