The newspapers called her "The Miracle Baby." The tornado that ripped through her southeast Missouri hometown killed four other people, but after being lifted up inside the funnel cloud and carried nearly a mile, 20-month-old Laney walked away. Twenty-five years later, meteorologist Laney Miller has made another bizarre journey. She's driven 2500 miles in the dead of winter to reach Vancouver Island in Canada. But when she wakes up in a Tofino hospital, she hasn't the faintest idea why she made the trip. Jason Buchanan has his own reasons for wondering why the clueless American made a week's reservation at his surfing hostel, given that within a few minutes of her arrival, she nearly drowns herself climbing on the rocks. The successful, socially in-demand sportsman likes his life just the way it is, but there's something about this woman that intrigues him, and it's a fascination he can't let go. He only wishes that Laney would trust him, because ridding her clear blue eyes of the fear that haunts them may require a whole other miracle.
