I was lucky enough to get an ARC copy of this book. Over all I enjoyed it. This is a wonderful little Christmas story. It tells the story of Laurel McCullough and her husband Zach who move in with Laure's Grandmother who has trouble taking care of herself due to her developing dementia. Laurel is looking for someone to help her take care of her Grandmother and this is where Mrs. Miracle shows up to help.

I also love how she brings in Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy into the story so it ties back into her other Christmas stories. The only hard part for me was the dementia aspect of it. I recently lost my Grandmother to dementia right before last Christmas. So a this novel brought back a few recent memories for me. Don't let that stop you from enjoying the book though.

Over all if you are a fan of Debbie's other Christmas books, you are going to love this one.

I love Debbie Macomber's Christmas books. I always know it's going to be a book that leaves me feeling good. A Mrs. Miracle Christmas did just that. I like how she weaves in characters from past books. You don't need to read the other books to enjoy this one but I recommend you read them all if you haven't done so.

A Mrs. Miracle Christmas is a wonderful story about a couple, Laurel and Zach, who couldn't have children of their own. After several failed attempts to conceive they turned to adoption but only to have the child they loved taken from them.. After losing the baby Laurel lost all faith that she would become a mother but Zach still held on to his faith. When Mrs. Miracle came to be a companion for Laurel's grandmother Helen mysterious things started to happen and on Christmas Eve Laurel and Zach finally received a baby of their own. This story is a reminder that God is watching over all of us and we should never lose our faith in him.

I have yet to read a Debbie Macomber book that I did not enjoy. I love her work and how she makes you feel a part of the families she writes about. This book is no different and I am in love with Laurel, Zack, Helen and Mrs. Miracle!

Laurel came to live with her grandmother, Helen, when she was just ten years old. Not that Laurel is grown and married to Zack, they have moved in with Helen to help her in her older age. Helen has been showing signs of dementia and Helen is growing more worried about her by the day. Laurel and Zack both work full time and can't be there with Helen all the time during the day. With Laurel being a teacher, some of her duties extend past the school day and she puts in more time after school and sometimes at night.

Several instances have happened that make Laurel aware that she is going to have to get someone to stay with her grandmother while they are gone working during the day. All of the agencies that Laurel calls is booked and they don't know when they are going to have someone free to stay with Helen so it is a shock when Mrs. Miracle shows up at the door ready to help with Helen.

In the meantime Laurel and Zack have been on the road of infertility and adoption. With Zack knowing how bad Laurel wants to be a mother, he goes behind Laurel's back and does something that Laurel never thinks he would do. I don't want to give the whole story away because this one will draw you in and you will want to read it for yourself to find out how things play out for everyone involved. I love this story and I assure you, you will not be disappointed that you pick this one up to read! Great job once again by Debbie Macomber!

All opinions are my own and given voluntarily. Thanks to Netgally, the publisher and the author for an advanced copy of this story!

You can’t help but give Debbie Macomber five stars for her uplifting, sweet stories. This one is no exception. Somehow she keeps her books relevant to what is going on in the world. Her books are without cursing, sex and empty characters. Laurel is the heroine of the story. Although her grandmother, Helen gives Laurel a run for her money. Zach is Laurels husband. They want a baby in the worst way. The best compliment I can give A Mrs. Miracle Christmas is to say, I’m a better person for having read it. Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for allowing me to read an advance copy for my honest review.

Debbie Macomber at her best! I’ve read all of her other books and this one is probably my favorite. I felt many emotions and cried a few times- so much sadness, but also joy! I highly recommend this book!

A particularly touching Mrs Miracle story. Filled with both joy and sadness.
Had me crying and left me filled with happiness and a feeling of true Christmas. These stories may seem lightweight on the surface but they are not that at all. They contain warmth and a depth that can be felt while reading.
I'm a fan.

Nothing says Christmas like a Mrs. Miracle story. Heartwarming, cozy story of an elder dementia patient, her family and of course, Mrs. Miracle. You will smile, cry and celebrate the holiday with Mrs, Miracle and her sidekick angels, Shirley, Mercy and Goodness. Loved this book! A must read!

A Mrs. Miracle Christmas by Debbie Macomber. We all want to believe in miracles at Christmas I loved her other two miracle books especially Mrs. Miracle. Everyone wants happiness in a Christmas story and A Mrs Miracle Christmas delivers Christmas happiness. Thankyou for writing this book and allowing us to believe in Angels that have a lot to do with Christmastime.
