Critical Praise

"As tender as a slow dance, as rebellious as a hip-hop song, and an uttery joy. Brian Strause manages to convince the reader that mere human life is the greatest sin and salvation--with room for belief, betrayal, the beneficence of baseball, folly, and forgiveness."

——Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean and The Breakdown Lane

"Brian Strause's Maybe A Miracle starts out somewhere not far from J.D. Salinger's rye field, but it ends up in a new and strange and marvelous place where only this extraordinary first novelist could take it."

——Madison Smartt Bell, author of The Stone that the Builder Refused
