""Schastlivai︠a︡ zhiznʹ Dzhun Nilon zakonchilasʹ, kogda byli ubity ee li︠u︡bimye muzh i dochʹ. I tolʹko rozhdenie Klėr zastavli︠a︡et Dzhun vgli︠a︡dyvatʹsi︠a︡ v budushchee. Teperʹ ee zhiznʹ sostoit iz ozhidanii︠a︡: ozhidanii︠a︡ togo chasa, kogda ona zalechit svoi dushevnye rany, ozhidanii︠a︡ spravedlivosti, ozhidanii︠a︡ chuda. Dli︠a︡ Shėi︠a︡ Borna zhiznʹ ne gotovit bolʹshe nikakikh si︠u︡rprizov. Mir nichego emu ne dal, i emu samomu nechego predlozhitʹ miru. No on obretaet posledniĭ shans na spasenie, i ėto svi︠a︡zano s Klėr, odinnadt︠s︡atiletneĭ docherʹi︠u︡ Dzhun. Odnako Shėi︠a︡ i Klėr razdeli︠a︡et more gorʹkikh sozhaleniĭ, proshlye prestuplenii︠a︡ i gnev materi, poteri︠a︡vsheĭ rebenka. Otet︠s︡ Maĭkl -- chelovek, proshlye postupki kotorogo zastavli︠a︡i︠u︡t ego posvi︠a︡titʹ ostavshui︠u︡si︠a︡ zhiznʹ Bogu. No, vstretivshisʹ lit︠s︡om k lit︠s︡u s Shėem, on vynuzhden podvergnutʹ somnenii︠u︡ vse to, chto znaet o religii, vse svoi predstavlenii︠a︡ o dobre i zle, o proshchenii. I o sebe."-- Shay Bourne shattered June Nealson's life when he murdered her husband and daughter. Now, as New Hamphire's first death row inmate in 58 years, his last request is one he believes might bring him salvation. Shay wants to donate his heart to June's other, ailing daughter. But since he is scheduled for lethal injection, the scenario is not possible. Then further complications arise when Shay begins performing miracles in full view of witnesses-including his Catholic spiritual advisor.
