Ordinary Miracles — Stephanie S. Tolan

Mark Filkins is going through a tough year he's tired of being an identical twin and of being the son of a fundamentalist minister, and he's stunned when he learns that a beloved neighbor, a brilliant scientist, has cancer. All the Filkinses last seen in Tolan's Save Halloween! believe that prayer can heal, so Mark launches a prayer campaign to save his friend. In this rich and wonderfully characterized novel, Mark's beliefs are tested as he searches for one special miracle.
