Summary:
Miracles Happen is the true story of a life-changing event that happened in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland and Labrador, in 2010. Rendell Drover, a respected fisherman in the community, was injured in a horrific industrial accident and was not expected to live. In this memoir, Rendell's wife, Janice, recalls the accident in heartbreaking detail and the weeks, months, and years that followed. Throughout the long and painful road to recovery, her husband underwent a series of dangerous medical procedures . . . and lived. His doctors agree that, in light of the traumatic injuries he sustained, Rendell's survival was nothing short of miraculous. Janice, her family, and their neighbours stayed by Rendell's side and made new friends along the way--fellow patients, doctors, and nurses--who helped shoulder the burden and lessen their worries. While human tragedy is the impetus for this book, Miracles Happen is also a testament to a tightly knit community that came together, in the true spirit of Newfoundland and Labrador camaraderie, to help one of their own through hard times. It also serves to inspire anyone in the midst of a crisis and remind them that miracles really can happen. Today, Rendell Drover, known locally as "the big-hearted fisherman from Upper Island Cove," is alive and well..
