Klappentext Mary Clare O'Brian is always on the lookout for a miracle, but with a war in Vietnam, race riots in the city, and turmoil at home, miracles seem to be in short supply. Zusammenfassung Mary Clare is on the lookout for a miracle. Mary Clare O'Brian is determined to be a saint when she grows up (the halo will help cover her frizzy hair).
