Words & Music by Trevor Price and Paul Cardall for The Broken Miracle Album. IвЂ™ve been on the brink of death countless times, thought about giving up in a few of them, but in the end, love prevailed. My hope is that this novel instills in you the desire to live. It brought me perspective, healing, and even more courage to keep on living.в ЂвЃЈ Seeing them expand into powerful moments in the story was a breath of fresh air-even for me. I got to edit each scene with notes from my personal experiences. My personal contribution is burrowed in each chapter. beautifully portrays the journey, digging deep through unvoiced emotions and secrets. It portrays the emotions and downfalls I experienced while many around me seemed healthy and strong.

The book puts into words many things I tried to voice out throughout my life. The experience of having an author put together a puzzle that was often just a pile in my head brought light to my own shadows. In them I shared secrets I had kept for years. NettoВ was given access to many of my personal notes and diaries. I know my journey hasnвЂ™t been the easiest or what people consider вЂњnormal,вЂќ but seeing some of the most challenging moments I lived translated into words on a page brought clarity to many questions I had.в ЂвЃЈ ItвЂ™s a bit surreal to see a duology inspired by my own life. But be sure of one thing in the end, it'll all make sense. PaulВ and I are excited to invite you to join us on this wild ride.В Hope can be found in the journey, even if arduous or seemingly impossible. They're only sure of the drop, but confused as to where it'll lead.вЃЈ It's a roller coaster where those riding can't see the tracks. Not only because I got to work with one of my inspirations, but because the journey is one that dares you to believe against all odds. We became friends within the first few minutes.В I'll be honest,В I struggled to keep my cool but believe I did a pretty good job despite being drenched by the deluge.вЃЈ вЃЈ Paul and I met in NYC during a very stormy night two months later. I downloaded every album and religiously visited iTunes hoping for new content.вЃЈ вЃЈ To my surprise (I still pinch myself to this very day), on February 2019, I was presented with the chance of writing a duologyВ inspired by his miraculous life with a direct contribution from the man himself! Never in my wildest dreams would I have pictured that moment. He became a constant presence in my playlists, his songs the soundtrack of some of my most personal moments. I stumbled upon the name 'Paul Cardall' and his remarkable story of living with half a heart. There was something about the song that made me quickly search the internet for the genius behind it. I was engrossed in its melody as soon as the string arrangements began. I was in my hotel room in Seattle in 2010 when the song 'Redeemer' came on. 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. Though characters and places were fictionalized for storytelling purposes, the main events in the duology are real. 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. Now a husband and father, it seems that Paul has everything he could have ever hoped for.until his heart begins to fail.ДЄs 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.

Numerous surgeries and many decades later, Paul is building a successful career despite the limitations his condition have infringed upon him. But before the awards and success, he was just a little boy with half a functioning heart. Paul Cardall is an internationally acclaimed pianist whose career has been an inspiration to millions. We take many things for granted-but having a heart isn't one of them. 'I belonged to an exclusive club with only one membership requirement-be born with half a functioning heart.'
