My Thoughts:
I never read anything by Debbie Macober before and I usually
read Christmas themed books during the Christmas season, but when a guy I know
told me that he had seen the movie of this book on the Lifetime network and
liked it I was very curious; therefore, I acquired the book.
I was pleasantly surprised. It was a very sweet romance. It
was also a reminder not to hold on to anger and grudges, and that sometimes
there are two sides to every story, if one is willing to open their heart and
listen. I really enjoyed the character of Mrs. Merkle. I liked how she seemed to know everything that
was going on, and how she would butt in and giver opinion on everything. Sometimes Seth would get upset with her
butting in, but in the end he would admit she was right. I didn’t like the character of Harriet
Foster, a widow who sees wrong doing and sin in everyone else, yet never steps
back and sees that what she is doing is wrong.
I feel that she gets her just desserts in the end.
I enjoyed this book very much and am grateful it was
recommended to me. I may never have
picked up the book otherwise, especially at this time of the year. This was a
book I read in one day. It was a
warm-hearted romance that was easy read. I may pick up another book by Debbie
Macomber soon. For these reasons, I gave
Mrs. Miracle four stars and a grade of B.
If you like sweet romances with a Christmas theme, or even ones with
angels involved I recommend reading Mrs. Miracle by Debbie Macomber. It just may be the miracle you are looking
for when it comes to Christmas romance.
