A Mrs. Miracle Christmas by Debbie Macomber

Robin's Rave Reviews - Christmas Edition 2021

This year I decided to read some Christmas themed books. I don’t usually do that, but for some unknown reason, I wanted to this year. You may have already read my reviews of The Santa Suit by Mary Kay Andrews and Once Upon a Wardrobe by Patti Callahan.  Here’s the next seasonal recommendation:  A Mrs. Miracle Christmas by Debbie Macomber.

A Mrs. Miracle Christmas is part of a series including Mrs. Miracle (1996), Call Me Mrs. Miracle (2010), Mr. Miracle (2014), and the one I’m reviewing, A Mrs. Miracle Christmas (2019). When I picked it up, I vaguely knew it was part of a series, but since I didn’t have the others, I dove in. I discovered I did NOT have to read the others first to enjoy this one. Then I discovered this novel (and at least four other Macomber novels) have been made into Hallmark channel movies. I’ll be checking those out next!

A Mrs. Miracle Christmas was a quick, sweet read.  Helen is having trouble living on her own since her memory isn’t what it once was. Her granddaughter Lauren and Lauren’s husband, Zach, move in to help with Helen’s care.  They need some help with Helen during the day while they’re at work, but when Lauren calls the local home-care organization, they tell Lauren no one is available until after the new year.

Miraculously, (get it?!) Mrs. Miracle arrives at the house to start work as a home-care companion. Lauren, who assumes the company sent her after all, has to admit she’s a godsend. Lauren doesn’t worry about Helen during the work day, and Helen seems happier and more energetic being engaged in activities with her new companion. Still, Lauren is a bit worried because Helen thinks Mrs. Miracle is a real angel.

That’s one problem Lauren can set aside. On the other hand, her marriage is on shaky ground. Zach continues to hope and pray for a baby to adopt. Lauren is too devastated after the last baby in their care was snatched out of her arms when the biological father decided he wanted the child.

Mrs. Miracle and Helen share a special, heavenly secret. Will Lauren and Zach believe the signs all around them? Will there be a miracle this Christmas?

If you’re looking for a book filled with Christmas cheer and relatable characters but won’t take up too much time from your busy to-do list, A Mrs. Miracle Christmas would be a good one to pick up.
