Glory Bea Bennett knows that miracles happen in Gladiola, Texas, population 3,241. After all, her grandmother--the best matchmaker in the whole county--is responsible for thirty-nine of them. Now Glory Bea needs a miracle of her own. The war ended three years ago, but Glory Bea's father never returned home from the front in France. Glory Bea understands what Mama and grams and grandpa say--that daddy died a hero on Omaha Beach--yet deep down in her heart, she believes that daddy is still out there. But miracles, like people, are always changing, until at last they find their way home.
