Unveiling Miracles: How Remarkable Sick Kids Restored a Doctor’s Lost Faith
The book’s title comes from a line in the song “For Good” from the musical Wicked: “But because I knew you, I have been changed for good.” And indeed, the central thesis of the book might be this: that the act of bearing witness to another’s suffering is not passive. It changes you. It demands something of you. Dr. Macauley rises to that demand again and again, and in doing so, challenges the rest of us— healthcare providers, parents, readers— to do the same.
What’s remarkable is the gentle, almost meditative pacing of the book. Macauley resists the temptation to offer linear solutions or tidy endings. Instead, he allows uncertainty and grief to be what they are: often unresolvable. The book moves between clinical experience and spiritual reflection with grace.
