About 2 weeks ago I watched Mrs. Miracle on the Hallmark Channel. Had to read the book. Of course the book is always better then the movie but I really liked the movie. The story is about widower Seth and Reba, who caught her fiance with her sister just before they got married and of course Emily Merkle, Mrs. Miracle. She comes into Seth and his twin boys lives and totally changes it for the better. She get Seth and Reba together by a miracle. There are little subplots in this book but I won't say anything you'll just have to read the book for yourselves.

Love Debbie Macomber books but Mrs. Miracle tops the list.

You gotta love angels!! This is a wonderful story of love, forgiveness, family and faith. My favorite Mrs. Merkle quote (each chapter starts with a quote or saying from Mrs. Merkle)is "You have to wonder about humans. They think God is dead and Elvis is alive." The book also includes a few recipes.

Father of six-year-old twins boys, Widower Seth Webster is at his wits end and needs a miracle. She shows up in the form of a heaven-sent housekeeper named Mrs. Merkle. Mrs. Miracle, as the boys call her, dishes out words of wisdom and shares advice about taking risks and letting go of the past. She also hooks Seth up with Reba, a beautiful travel agent who has wounds of her own.
This is a busy book. Not only do we get Seth and Reba who both have problems to overcome; but we also read about Seth's in-laws and the problems in their marriage. This is a nice holiday story that reads very fast. It was also a bit of a tearjerker for me. My rating: 4 Stars.

Wonderful author and her books - whether it's Debbie's Cedar Cove series of books or any of her novels.
Mrs. Miracle and Call Me Mrs. Miracle are both very touching books, best read at Christmas time. Or at least that's when I read them...
Highly recommend any of Debbie's books.
