Overview of Miracles on Maple Hill

Marly is a young girl growing up in post-World War II America in the 1950s whose life changes when she and her family move to Maple Hill, Pennsylvania. Marly’s family, especially her father, is still recovering from the war and finds healing and renewal in the outdoors. At Maple Hill, Marly meets the kind and wise couple, Mr. and Mrs. Chris. They teach her about the wonders of maple trees, the changing seasons, and the beauty of working with one’s hands. Through time spent outdoors, Marly begins to see the small, everyday miracles around her and hopes her family can find them too. With its warm characters and gentle message, this story celebrates the quiet wonders of everyday life.
