Rex Connor's life is perfect until one fateful afternoon in 1970 when, as a lifeguard, he diverts his gaze for 17 seconds and a life is lost.
Forty years later, the events of that day live on in his son, Cole, who has chosen to share the experience in a unique way. This fall, Cole has invited three struggling teens to learn about Rex and the Seventeen Second Miracle.
Slowly, the group learns how Rex turned those 17 seconds into little miracles. By choosing to live his life believing small instances could change the world, Rex did make it a better place.
The lessons are hard, and each of the students face their own secrets and trials, but over time, they begin to see how perspective and a few seconds can put a smile on even the grumpiest of faces.
Another great book by Jason Wright!
