The author of the novel, Angie Kim, does an excellent job telling the story from multiple point of views. The Paks own “Miracle Submarine,” a hyperbaric oxygen chamber that is used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including the symptoms of autism, cerebral palsy, and infertility.Īlthough some consider the oxygen treatment to be “quack” medicine, the Paks are excited to finally be living their American dream and hoping for the success of the future. The story follows a family of immigrants from Seoul and a few other key characters as they navigate the aftermath of an explosion and a subsequent murder trial. However, there are a lot of redeeming qualities to this book and I did enjoy it! Just maybe not as much as I hoped. Miracle Creek has been #1 on my TBR list for awhile and I’m a little bummed that I wasn’t totally into it. I got overly excited about a book with rave reviews, a book that’s absolutely blowing up online and on social media, and I got a little let down.
