This was a cute book with the same characters from Arthur Trulove. It’s a good story of friendship and hope.

I did not realize this was part of a series, so it was a dnf for me. I wish I would have read the first before attempting this one!

I was given a copy of this book by Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed Arthur Truluv, and this sequel was the story of Lucille, his friend and neighbor. Lucille lost her one true love after reacquainting with him late in life. But she has her baking and Maddie and Nola, the teenager we met in Arthur’s story and her daughter. While experiencing Lucille’s story, we are introduced to Iris, Tiny, Melody, and Lincoln; people whose stores are intertwined with Lucille.

A sweet but melancholy story.

Another gem from Elizabeth Berg. She has a way of writing about the quiet moments in a way that makes you think and feel like the characters are living right along with you. This book had multiple storylines that were elegantly woven together.

I loved the first Arthur Truluv book and this sequel did not disappoint. It was fun to revisit the characters and charming town of Mason.

This is book 2 of the Mason Series and focuses on Lucille. I love that she bakes and holds cooking classes at her house. This is a heartwarming novel just like book one, The Story of Arthur Truluv.

♡ Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. I voluntarily chose to review it and the opinions contained within are my own.

all the gang is back from the first book in the series. This one is based around Lucille, who bakes and holds cooking classes at her house. Maddy and Nola return and Iris and Monica have their differences. The Angel of Death arrives to take someone "home" but delays the act to perform one miracle. One drawback to this book: wish Lucille's recipes were printed.

Yet again I have picked up a sequel that while it stands alone I am told it would be much richer having read the first wonderful book. Alas I did not read them in order and while I did enjoy the charm of this book and the beautiful town and characters developed, I hope to go back and read its predecessor and update this review.

This is book 2 of the Mason Series. Lucille keeps busy, so busy in fact that she hires someone to help teach her baking classes. People in Mason, Missouri are facing tough decisions and everyone pulls together to help each other out to make sure that everyone lives their best life.

I read this book in a day and thoroughly enjoyed it! Elizabeth Berg created lovable characters and a plot that has it all: love, death, heartache, etc. My favorite characters were Lucille and Tiny, and after reading g this book I plan to read more from Berg.

A lovely and warm-hearted sequel to The Story of Arthur Truluv---which I highly recommend reading first. This is a book about kindness and family being not blood, but where you find them. It is a quick read that will likely make you a bit weepy. I loved it! Thank you NetGalley and publishers for providing a digital ARC for review.

I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoy Elizabeth Berg's books, so I am always happy when I see a new one. I really enjoyed her last one, The Story of Arthur Truluv. This is the next books in the series, but I think you could read it as a stand alone. It does reference the previous book quite a bit, but there are enough different characters to make it interesting if you didn't read the first. And if you didn't, you really should! I lived the books. I liked the way the characters lives' intersected. I even like the little bit of magical element to the story. While I didn't fall in love with it as much as the last book, I do feel it was an enjoyable story. 3.5

Thank you Elizabeth Berg for creating the sequel to the wonderful book "The Story of Arthur Truluv". The story is easy to read with likable characters in a small town setting. Happy Reading!

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

This is one of those endearing and heartwarming stories that has you smiling as you close the book. I loved The Story of Arthur Truluv and this second book in the series is a perfect follow-up. Though you could read this book by itself, Arthur Truluv is so wonderful that you would miss out on a lot of character development.

Lucille is a unique and strong individual. While you find yourself cringing at some of her abrupt statements, you also find she has a few soft spots and has a caring heart.

The people who call Mason, Missouri home are supportive of each other. The small town camaraderie and the well developed characters pull you into the story and you find yourself wanting to meet the delightful people. I look forward to future adventures with the people of Mason!

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House for my advanced review copy. All opinions and thoughts are my own.

Taking over where 'The Story of Arthur Truluv' left off, "Night of Miracles' is another miracle created by best selling author Elizabeth Berg. The endearing characters created in the first 'Mason' book grow in their own right in this second title in the series.
Mason is a community like many others with tragedy and heartbreak. It is also a supportive place where wonderful characters like Lucille live and share their gifts with others.

This is the sequel to The Story of Arthur Truluv, which was a book that I loved. In the first book Lucille Howard had moved into Arthur's house. This book is a continuation of Lucille's story, but also introduces some new characters that live in Mason, Missouri. This story was a great escape and the author made me feel like I was there with the characters. I loved the descriptions of Lucille's baking classes and what they were making, and wished that some of the recipes were included. The characters and the sense of community that you feel when reading this book really draws you into the story and doesn't let you go. I am looking forward to my next visit with these characters.

I received a complimentary copy of this ebook from the publisher through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This is the second book in the Mason series. I absolutely loved The Story of Arthur Truluv, and although this was an enjoyable story, it did not measure up to my expectations. Just before Arthur dies in the previous book, Lucille Howard moves into his house. She is an excellent cook and has started to offer cooking classes. She is using Arthur as her inspiration and spreading love and kindness through her baking. She has a new neighbour, Iris, who is at loose ends, so Lucille hires her as her assistant. Everyone in Mason, Missouri seems to either know each other or they are one degree of separation, so when there appears to be a parallel storyline involving Tiny and the local waitress, and Lucille's new neighbours, you know it will all come together in the end.

Night of Miracles is a charming story both heartbreaking and heartwarming at times. It is a story of community, how kindness helps neighbours to connect and support each other. Lucille is a multi-faceted character, a bit caustic, yet funny, wise, kind, compassionate, and level headed in her actions. With compassion she steps up for a family in need and changes their lives and situation. The story touches on some heartbreaking issues and I loved how Elizabeth Berg kept it light and focused more on the heartwarming moments that make a difference in the lives of these characters. Overall, another beautiful story set in Mason, Missouri. Another story that was realistic and had me caring about these characters. Another story that I recommend to readers who enjoy stories of life.

Absolutely charming - I fully enjoyed the characters and Elizabeth Berg's writing - I'll definitely be reading more of her work.

Night of Miracles by Elizabeth Berg is a sequel to The Story of Arthur Truluv. I highly recommend reading The Story of Arthur Truluv prior to reading Night of Miracles, because you will be introduced to many of the characters who are a big part of Night of Miracles. Despite reading the second book first, I enjoyed this novel. Elizabeth Berg develops her interesting characters skillfully and you really care about what happens to them. I intend to read The Story of Arthur Truluv to get the back story of the characters.
