A Million Miracles: An Absolutely Heartbreaking and Unforgettable World War Two Story of Love and Survival by Roberta KaganMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Roberta Kagan brings her A Million Miracles trilogy to a breathtaking and heartbreaking conclusion with this final installment, a story as harrowing as it is filled with grace.
Set against the devastating backdrop of the Holocaust, Kagan’s prose pulls readers into a world where despair shadows every moment—yet hope, faith, and the human spirit shine with quiet resilience.
What strikes me most about Kagan’s storytelling is how real it feels. Her attention to setting and historical detail immerses the reader completely; you don’t just read this book, you live it. The despair is palpable, the darkness heavy, yet through it all, the hand of God moves gently between the lines—reminding us that even in humanity’s darkest hours, miracles still find a way.
It feels unusual to give five stars to a story that left me so profoundly sad. But that’s where Roberta Kagan’s brilliance lies. She doesn’t just write about history—she makes us feel it. Grief, courage, loss, faith—all interwoven into a tapestry that demands we remember. Because to forget what happened, to turn away from stories like this, is to risk complacency and allow history’s horrors to repeat.
A Million Miracles is a sobering yet essential reminder of the strength of the human soul. It’s a book that breaks your heart and mends it with hope. I am deeply grateful to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a free advance copy in exchange for this honest review
