SYNOPSIS
All that’s left before production of the movie The Miracle in July can begin—a visceral, bestselling tale based on Michelle Ray’s scandalous story about love, loss and letting go—is Ray’s blessing on the final edits to the screenplay. But Ray has a secret: the yearning lovers separated by time and space; the father’s preventable death; the estranged sister, dying from her hard life’s choices; the terrible, life-altering accident—they’re all characters and events in Ray’s very real life story. Suddenly realizing that over the years she has so skillfully fictionalized the most important parts of her life that she isn’t sure what is real anymore, Ray leaves her home in Portland, Oregon and journeys to Denmark to re-examine the artifacts from her past, and to tell the true story of impossible love for the first and last time.
