I belonged to an exclusive club with only one membership requirement: be born with half a functioning heart. We take many things for granted, but having a heart isn’t one of them. Paul Cardall is an internationally acclaimed pianist whose career has been an inspiration to millions. But before the awards and success, he was just a little boy with half a functioning heart.

Numerous surgeries and many decades later, Paul is building a successful career despite the limitations his condition have infringed upon him. Now a husband and father, it seems that Paul has everything he could have ever hoped for…until his heart begins to fail.

As time passes, the pressure of his waning health and the seemingly endless wait for a new heart test not only Paul’s faith, but his marriage and relationships as well. He begins to wonder if luck will ever be on his side or if it’s time he let the curtains fall in what could be the final act of his life.

Though characters and places were fictionalized for storytelling purposes, the main events in the duology are real. Drawn from private notes and journals made available to the author, The Broken Miracle is a riveting story that will take the reader on an unforgettable journey.

Also look for the companion album The Broken Miracle by Paul Cardall, the subject of J.D. Netto’s novel.

It is very well done, and as someone whose life was touched by Paul and his music, it was a welcome treat.
