All the Little Miracles is a poignant story of courage, hope, and survival in the face of devastating loss. In 1974, Carol realized the toll her husband’s excessive drinking had taken on their ten-year marriage. It took a lawyer flipping through an open file and reciting a litany of lawsuits, broken contracts, deals gone sour, and mounting debt for her to accept the truth. Without the benefit of the internet, marketable skills, or even friends who worked outside the home, Carol was determined to find a job. When her thirteen-year old son, Scotty, was diagnosed with a deadly cancer, she found herself balancing the challenges of a budding career, a contentious divorce, bankruptcy, and the demands of raising four active children. Her son’s death drew a line through her soul, but she eventually saw that it is the countless little miracles, woven seamlessly through our lives, that ultimately turn paths of hardship and loss into rivers of hope and survival.
