A Mrs. Miracle Christmas {A Book Review}

**I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher for consideration. All thoughts are 100% my own.

Mrs. Miracle shows an ordinary family that they are blessed beyond belief in this uplifting holiday tale from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.

As the holiday season begins, Laurel McCullough could use some good news. She and her husband, Zach, have been praying for a baby that seems more and more like an impossible dream, and they’ve had to move in with her beloved grandmother, Helen, who’s having trouble taking care of herself. But when Laurel contacts a local home-care organization for help, there are no caregivers available.

Then Mrs. Miracle appears at the door. No stranger to lending a helping hand to a family in need, Mrs. Miracle reveals herself to be nothing short of a godsend. Helen’s even convinced she’s an angel! And Laurel can’t help but notice that with Mrs. Miracle’s companionship, Helen is noticeably happier and more engaged, decorating the family Christmas tree and setting up the nativity. In the meantime, Laurel and Zach encounter curious signs, all pointing toward the arrival of a special baby.

As Christmas approaches, there appears to be even more to Mrs. Miracle than meets the eye. In a classic tale of Debbie Macomber’s signature seasonal magic, Laurel, Zach, and Helen experience a holiday of heavenly proportions.

Debbie Macomber, the author of Window on the Bay, Cottage by the Sea, Any Dream Will Do, If Not for You, and the Rose Harbor Inn series, is a leading voice in women’s fiction. Thirteen of her novels have reached #1 on the New York Times bestseller lists, and five of her beloved Christmas novels have been hit movies on the Hallmark Channel, including Mrs. Miracle and Mr. Miracle. Hallmark Channel also produced the original series Debbie Macomber’s Cedar Cove, based on Macomber’s Cedar Cove books. She is as well the author of the cookbook Debbie Macomber’s Table. There are more than 200 million copies of her books in print worldwide.

Oh how I love a feel good Christmas story! They make you feel warm and cozy, like being wrapped in a blanket of holiday spirit. And no one does a feel good Christmas story better than Debbie Macomber! A Mrs. Miracle Christmas is a prime example of that.

Now, while I have read many Debbie Macomber books and was familiar with the character of Mrs. Miracle (primarily through the Hallmark movies), I must admit that this was the first of the books that I had read. Oh what a delight it was! I find myself wanting to read them all now. I am certain those who have read the previous books will love another appearance by this wonderful character. Others like myself will love this introduction, and won't feel as though they are missing anything.

This story does deal with infertility and adoption---and the heartaches that can go along with that. Though it is a very heartwarming story that had me walking away with a sense of hope, I could certainly see how this could be a tough read for those who are currently going through these struggles and would certainly suggest you keep that in mind before reading. That said it was a beautiful story that had me laughing and crying throughout...just as a good Christmas story should. It was also a very quick read, I was able to finish it in less than a day!

If you're looking for a quick read that will warm your heart this holiday season (or before!), A Mrs. Miracle Christmas is a GREAT choice!

A Mrs. Miracle Christmas will be available on October 1. You can preorder your copy today.
