Miracle at Clement's Pond
Lyon, Jason and Sylvie find an abandoned baby during a storm. They take matters into their own hands and deposit the child on the doorstep of a God-fearing and kindly spinster who calls this 'child from God', Miracle. The subsequent fate of the baby and the three protagonists is played out against the compelling and vigorous backdrop of Clement's Pond - its people and its small dramas all beautifully described. Ample scope for a TV series, great potential as a class set and essential reading for 1st-to 3rd-year secondary boys or girls. Wonderful!
