The Miracle

One morning in September 2009, 40-year-old Ally McErlaine - the lead guitarist in Texas, the famous Scottish rock band - was found unconscious at home, having stopped breathing after an enormous seizure. Doctors discovered that he had suffered a devastating brain haemorrhage, and said it was extremely unlikely that he would survive. Over the long months that followed, an extraordinary "rainbow army" of medical experts, alternative practitioners, religious devotees, spiritual healers and mystics joined forces with Ally's family and friends to achieve the impossible - bring Ally back to life. THE MIRACLE tells the full story of this epic battle to save Ally. It reveals how this remarkable man defied the odds and returned from the dead. Told in intimate detail by his wife, the singer and songwriter Shelly Poole, this is an inspiring tale of love, tragedy and hope, and the chronicle of an event that challenges mainstream 21st-century science. It is a story that compels you to read to its amazing conclusion, while entertaining you with countless astonishing, heart-warming and humorous moments. And THE MIRACLE really did happen.
