Tragedy can strike at any time. In a single moment of distraction, in one instant's miscalculation.
On a beautiful spring day three-year-old Sherry Barrett is injured in a hit-and-run accident. Her devastated parents, Simon and Karen, wait by her bedside, hoping for a miracle ... one that doesn't come. Told that she will never recover,
they agree to remove her from life support. And then the miracle occurs. Sherry doesn't die. But nor does she wake.
Under the pressure of caring for their child, the fissures in Simon and Karen's marriage become gaping wounds and the family is pushed to the point of collapse. And then pushed even further by the undeniable fact that their little girl, trapped in her living death, has become a source of healing miracles.
Robert J. Wiersema's brilliant debut novel explores the inner lives of characters struggling against tragedy, finding each other, and themselves, in the darkness. Before I Wake movingly examines the power of forgiveness, and the true nature, and cost, of miracles.
