A haunting story about rapture and grace Amanda Leduc's stunning novel is the tale of two unlikely dreamers: Sam, a man who wakes up one day to find himself growing wings, and Lilah, a woman who has lost her brother to the streets of Vancouver. As Sam finds himself falling away from the world as he grows feathers from his back, Lilah seeks sexual penance under the harsh hand of her boss, her own transformation subtle and terrifying. Sam and Lilah fall deeper into their separate spiritual paths, and the two hurtle closer and closer to a dark, unknown destiny -- one that changes all that they know about life and pain, love and God, and how to find light in the most unlooked-for of places. The Miracles of Ordinary Men re-examines the traditional roles of priest and prophet, damned and divine, and creates something monstrous and exquisite reminiscent of Carlos Ruiz Zaf�n's The Angel's Game, Flannery O'Connor's The Violent Bear It Away, and Andrew Davidson's The Gargoyle.
