Ashley Ream has an absolutely astounding voice she is one of the most compelling, sharpest writers working today. "The 100 Year Miracle" is already one of my favorite novels of 2016. Gillian Flynn, #1" New York Times "bestselling author of" Gone Girl"
"Ashley Ream beautifully renders the minute-by-minute agonies of living with chronic pain, and even more beautifully the exquisite relief of being able to move again, pain-free. She also jumps from voice to voice with deep understanding a scientist who is on the spectrum, a dying composer, the composer s ex-wife who chants positivity mantras to try to stave off despair. Every page holds little treasures of observation." " ""The Charlotte Observer"
"An absorbing story with an arresting premise." " ""Seattle Times"
"The 100 Year Miracle" is a rich, enthralling novel, full of great characters, with an unpredictable plot and a fascinating premise built around an eternally crucial human question: to what ends will people go to save themselves? Ashley Ream is a terrific writer--fluid, intelligent, literary, and ballsy--and she never loses the courage of her convictions or pulls any punches. I loved this book from the riveting opening scenes to the darkly powerful ending. Kate Christensen, author of "The Great Man, "winner of the 2008 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction
"Vividly drawn characters and an intriguing premise make this a good bet for readers who like gothic novels or literary suspense." "Booklist"
A novel of loss, obsession and secrets, "The 100 Year Miracle" asks how far any of us would go to end our pain - physical, emotional - even if it had devastating repercussions.

"The 100 Year Miracle "will consume readers with its atmospheric setting, complex characters, and the weight of its emotional journey. Michelle Gable, "New York Times" bestselling author of "A Paris Apartment""
