Miracle Creek

"A literary courtroom thriller about a mother accused of murdering her eight-year-old autistic son"—

In rural Virginia, Young and Pak Yoo run an experimental medical treatment device known as the Miracle Submarine— a pressurized oxygen chamber that patients enter for therapeutic 'dives' with the hopes of curing issues like autism or infertility. When the Miracle Submarine mysteriously explodes, killing two people, a dramatic murder trial upends the Yoos' small community. The ensuing trial uncovers unimaginable secrets from that night— trysts in the woods, mysterious notes, child-abuse charges— as well as tense rivalries and alliances among a group of people driven to extraordinary degrees of desperation and sacrifice. — adapted from jacket
