A mysterious child teaches two strangers how to love and trust again.
After the loss of her mother and her own battle with breast cancer, Joanna Teale returns to her graduate research on nesting birds in rural Illinois, determined to prove that her recent hardships have not broken her. She throws herself into her work from dusk to dawn, until her solitary routine is disrupted by the appearance of a mysterious child who shows up at her cabin barefoot and covered in bruises.
The girl calls herself Ursa, and she claims to have been sent from the stars to witness five miracles. With concerns about the child’s home situation, Jo reluctantly agrees to let her stay—just until she learns more about Ursa’s past.
Jo enlists the help of her reclusive neighbor, Gabriel Nash, to solve the mystery of the charming child. But the more time they spend together, the more questions they have. How does a young girl not only read but understand Shakespeare? Why do good things keep happening in her presence? And why aren’t Jo and Gabe checking the missing children’s website anymore?
Though the three have formed an incredible bond, they know difficult choices must be made. As the summer nears an end and Ursa gets closer to her fifth miracle, her dangerous past closes in. When it finally catches up to them, all of their painful secrets will be forced into the open, and their fates will be left to the stars.

A quick read
评分人物情感很细腻,故事情节也紧凑,脑洞大开。
评分一口气一天看完了...what a gem!
评分故事编排得当,是个关于爱的故事,寻找爱,发现爱,爱自己, 爱别人.. ...主线支线交织但不混乱,开始的犹豫,后边的接受,认可,最后的努力争取,张力和情绪递增,是很有”故事“风格的小说,足够吸引人。 缺点是每个人物都好看善良,就算是不那么好后边也得洗白,结尾皆大欢喜,读者应该会很痛快,但未免也太不真实了,尤其是在后段急转直下的那部分,虽然情节上也有必要,但那种痛苦的情绪在前后情节的对比下也变得夸张,乏力了。 总体来说不错,情节有趣,情绪也跟着波动起伏,这段时现实带来的那些难以消化的冲击也多少也释放了一点,——所以我还是很需要这样大团圆的故事,维系一点对现实世界的信心。
评分是一本很快就能读完的小说 故事紧凑 画面代入感强 结局温馨
