I was blown away by her writing style and found myself not being able to put this book down. Wendy Wunder does a fantastic, and I mean absolutely fantastic, job of putting the reader right there with the characters. Fights in the car, annoying teenagers (me), greasy fast food places and corny landmarks. Cam, her mom and her little sister, Perry, are so endearing and family like that I found myself picturing all my family vacations. Again, I thought the trip was going to be hokey and unrealistic (yeesh, what is wrong with me?) but it was so great! It was your typical family 'vacation' via car. Her mom, as a last effort to save her, drives her to the miracle town of Promise, Maine, where miracles seem to happen. Cam has cancer and is expected to pass away soon. This book is so realistic, I felt like I was there with Cam and her family through the entire read. I was afraid that it was going to be one of those books that is just unrealistic and too positive to be real, boy was I ever wrong, but in a good way. When I first picked up 'The Probability of Miracles' I was afraid it was going to be a happy story about a girl with cancer (I know, crazy, right?).
