A Mrs. Miracle Christmas by Debbie Macomber is touching Christmas story. I began reading it and did not stop until I finished. A Mrs. Miracle Christmas has Debbie Macomber’s delightful writing which drew me right in. Her characters are developed, and the story moved along at a steady pace. Mrs. Miracle is sent by Gabriel to help Helen, Laurel and Zach. Helen has been praying for her granddaughter who has lost faith as well as hope after failed IVF treatments and an unsuccessful adoption. Zach still has hope, but he is not the praying type. Helen, Laurel’s grandmother, has dementia and her life has shrunk to the point where she sits in a chair trying to knit and watching television. With Mrs. Miracle taking care of Helen, her life expands. Helen finds new activities and new friends with her favorite being the kindly Mrs. Miracle. I thought Laurel and Zach’s struggles were realistic. I could feel their turmoil and sadness. There are some bright moments for the couple along with angelic guidance. There were humorous scenes that had me laughing out loud. I especially enjoyed Mrs. Miracle mentioning her friends, Shirley, Goodness and Mercy. Mrs. Miracle enlists their assistance for a job or two. I like the inclusion of this segment of the Twenty-Third Psalm, “Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life.” We see how important it is to never lose hope or faith. God does listen to our prayers and He answers them in His own way and when He feels it is time. We need to remember that patience is a virtue (like Mrs. Miracle, I struggle with this one). It also tells us that we should be grateful for what we do have instead of what we do not have. I am guilty of this as well. A Mrs. Miracle Christmas is a heartwarming Christmas tale that will lift your spirits and touch your heart. I was happy for the epilogue that beautifully wrapped up this touching tale. A Mrs. Miracle Christmas is an uplifting story with heavenly help, grandmotherly guidance, holiday happenings, a spirited Christmas Eve service and the mysterious Mrs. Miracle.

A fun holiday read. This one was a bit sadder than most. Laurel and Zach are dealing with infertility and her aging mother who has dementia. Mrs. Miracle and the other angels help give them the best Christmas ever.

My second Christmas book of the holidays, and my first Debbie Macomber book! I’ve seen so many of her Christmas books floating around at Target and on Goodreads, so naturally, I had to pick one up. And I’m so glad I did!
I actually didn’t know that this book was a part of a series, but it’s definitely understandable as a standalone. This book is such a quick, feel-good read, and I enjoyed every second of it. The characters felt so real to me, as did their situations, and I was smiling and crying with the characters. Like, I actually started full-on sobbing during some parts.
Such a beautiful story. Can’t wait to read more of Debbie Macomber’s books!

This is part of the Mrs. Miracle series but it can definitely be read as a stand-alone.
I absolutely love Debbie Macomber books. Her Mrs. Miracle series is one of my absolute favorites to read over the Christmas holiday. This new addition did not disappoint. It was everything that I had hoped for and more.
I loved the characters (Helen, Zach, and Laurel). They all won my heart and the addition of Mrs. Miracle truly creates a cozy and heartwarming Christmas novel.
If you love Christmas novels as much as I do, this is a must-read!

Heartwarming Christmas story that will make you believe in Angels. Lauren and Zach have had their heart broken in the past - first by not being able to conceive and then by having an infant taken back by the parent. All they ever wished for was to be parents. With the help of Mrs. Miracle the hope that they lost is restored and their wishes are granted. With beautifully written characters and a wonderful holiday storyline this will become one you will want to read over and over.
