When Miracle McCloy's mother dies before her birth, she's seen by her psychic
grandmother as a miracle and named accordingly. Miracle receives occasional love and
attention from her father, Dane, a writing prodigy who hasn't published a book in years.
One night her Aunt Casey comes over a séance Gigi is holding, to contact Miracle’s mother
something goes wrong. While using the Ouiji board, Gigi gets a message from Miracle’s
mom saying, that Dane is in trouble and gone. They all rush to his room, and when they
open the door there is no sign of Dane, just candles lit around the room and his clothes in a
pile on the floor, just as if he had melted. Gigi tells Miracle that’s Dane has in fact “melted”.
After this her behavior slowly changes, and she no longer believes in reality, she bases
everything on what her Gigi tells her, such as the meanings of numbers and colors and auras.
At age fourteen she severely burns herself by trying to melt like her father. She is then
Institutionalized. With the help of a doctor and the support of her Aunt Casey, Miracle
slowly adapts back into reality. She learns the truth about her mother and her father. When
her mom was killed, she was hit by an ambulance, but her mom did it deliberately. And her
father didn’t “melt”, as Gigi had told her, he had abandoned her. When Miracle is finally
released, she lives with her Aunt Casey. Gigi was so upset that Miracle was institutionalized
and that she learned the truth, that she never spoke to them again.
