Another winner by Debbie Macomber. I look forward to reading her Christmas book each year and this one brought back characters from her previous books, especially the angels, Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy. I had a hard time putting this down and, in fact, I read it in just a few hours. Great story line. I especially like it when there is a happy ending for everyone. I guess there really are angels.

I can't say enough good things about this book. I started it and regretted that I had to work. I finished it in a day an a half!. I loved the story of Laurel and her husband Zach and how they lived with her grandmother and although at first it was to save money it sounds like they helped each other out. Mrs Miracle of course was an important part of the book - I think we would all like to see have a Mrs. Miracle in our lives. This book was great and had interesting characters and it was something I did not want to put down. Thanks for the opportunity to read it.

I loved this sweet cozy story!

Debbie Macomber has a way with words. This book makes you feel good in your soul. I'm ready for Christmas in August.


I love that this book dealt with real emotions in a way that was not too heavy. I need to go read others in the miracle category from Macomber.

A delightful holiday story filled with the real spirit of Christmas. It was a roller coaster of a book, there are some very poignant moments, some very sad moments as well as some that are downright amusing. - I chuckled and I cried at times. The story isn’t very long but it is not short on emotion and you will be fully invested in this family long before the end.

Macomber delivers a beautiful, Christmas story full of hope and miracles.
A young couple has given up on having a family after heart wrenching experiences. A grandmother is slowly losing her mental faculties. Enter Mrs. Miracle, who is a caregiving angel. The Family responds to her ministrations and a much awaited arrival is on her way.
This is a feel good story set in a season of hope and renewal.

Oh how I love a feel good Christmas story! They make you feel warm and cozy, like being wrapped in a blanket of holiday spirit. And no one does a feel good Christmas story better than Debbie Macomber! A Mrs. Miracle Christmas is a prime example of that.

Now, while I have read many Debbie Macomber books and was familiar with the character of Mrs. Miracle (primarily through the Hallmark movies), I must admit that this was the first of the books that I had read. Oh what a delight it was! I find myself wanting to read them all now. I am certain those who have read the previous books will love another appearance by this wonderful character. Others like myself will love this introduction, and won't feel as though they are missing anything.



This story does deal with infertility and adoption---and the heartaches that can go along with that. Though it is a very heartwarming story that had me walking away with a sense of hope, I could certainly see how this could be a tough read for those who are currently going through these struggles and would certainly suggest you keep that in mind before reading. That said it was a beautiful story that had me laughing and crying throughout...just as a good Christmas story should. It was also a very quick read, I was able to finish it in less than a day!

If you're looking for a quick read that will warm your heart this holiday season (or before!), A Mrs. Miracle Christmas is a GREAT choice!

**I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher for consideration. All thoughts are 100% my own.

Typical Mrs. Miracle book. Fun read for the holiday season. The grandmother character is charming. Funny yet sad.

Macomber is an angel herself, bringing us soul-quenching stories that provide a lovely balance to life in our stressful world. You just breathe a sigh of relief knowing that you have her words before you, ready to transport you. She has, again, built a charming, warm and wonderful world, adding magic along the way, pulling at heartstrings along the way. I've read many Macomber novels, and this one stands out as among her most inspired. Loved it a thousand ways.

I received an ARC copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for my honest opinion of it. I so enjoyed this book. I normally read psychological thrillers but it is so nice to just read a light read with romance and a little bit of humor. This book really makes you realize that yes, there are angels amongst us.

Thank you Netgalley for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I am a huge fan of Debbie Macomber books, and I was SO excited when I had the chance to read this book.

This story is everything you could want or expect from a Debbie Macomber book. This is the perfect heart felt Christmas story. Lauren and Zach are dreaming of having a baby, but are having trouble. Helen, Lauren’s grandma, is suffering from dementia, so Lauren and Zach moved in to take care of her.

They decide to hire a care giver to help with Helen, and that’s when Mrs. Miracle arrives to help. Mrs. Miracle and Helen become fast friends. Mrs. Miracle is sweet, loving, and so funny. She breaks all the rules of being an angel and starts sharing secrets with Helen.

This book is the perfect book to cozy up by the fire on Christmas Day and read. If you love all things Christmas, and a heart warming story about love and having children. This book is the perfect match for you!

Laurel and Jack have been praying for a baby but have given up hope. They have had unsuccessful IVF treatments and had a baby claimed by the Father after caring for him for months. Laurels Grandmother is experiencing dementia and can no longer be left alone. Enter Mrs Miracle, an angelic caregiver.

This was a heartwarming Christmas book. It has a brief appearance by characters in a former book by this author. If you are looking for a feel good book that will leave you with a smile on your face, this is the one for you. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

A Mrs Miracle Christmas by Debbie Macomber. One of the highlights of the holiday season is Ms Macomber's Christmas stories. This delightful story brings back Mrs. Miracle and twinkling glimpses of Shirley, Goodness and Mercy. Heartwarming story with Lauren, Zach and Nana Helen filled with hope, love and miracles of the Christmas Season.
Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book

If you are a fan of Mrs. Miracle you will love this book. Debbie always brings Christmas alive in her novels. When Mrs. Miracle arrears to spread miracles you will be delighted. As a fan of Debbie and her Christmas books this is one of her best. I read this novel within a couple of hours, that's how good it is. I highly recommend and give it 5 stars.

Debbie Macomber is the undisputed Queen of Christmas novels and for me, it’s always the unofficial start to the season when her yearly holiday offering releases. Mrs. Miracle is one of her best-known characters (a title very much deserved) and I was beyond excited to see this angel in disguise make her third appearance in A Mrs. Miracle Christmas.

This time around Mrs. Miracle pops into the lives of a couple (Zach and Lauren) who have been desperate (to the point of almost giving up) for a baby and need a little extra help with Lauren’s grandmother (Helen) who is suffering from dementia. Mrs. Miracle guides the couple through a bit of healing and helps Helen feel more comfortable with her failing memory. Soon, the whole family is remembering the good times and preparing for what might be the biggest Christmas miracle of us.

While I think this entry is the weakest entry in the Mrs. Miracle series, it’s so nice to spend time with this character again. Way better than Mr. Miracle and a lot of Mrs. Macomber’s holiday offers over the past five years. I loved the inclusion of a few other “angels” along the way and the cute little Hallmark channel call out.

I feel like I must point out - I would not recommend this book to anyone who is having difficulties conceiving. The story is a bit too tidy and unbelievable and may cause additional pain instead of inspiring holiday spirit and hope.

Loved this book. Great Christmas story. Loved the plot, characters and the writing. If you enjoy Christmas books don’t miss this one. I received an arc from the publisher and this is my unbiased review.

A MRS. MIRACLE CHRISTMAS is everything you would expect a Debbie Macomber Christmas book to be. It is a heart warming story of faith and belief in the power of prayer. The story revolves around a young couple that want to start a family, but have had multiple setbacks. They share a home with "Grandma Helen", and that is how they meet Mrs. Miracle. Anytime the angels get involved, you know its going to be fun! This addition to the Mrs. Miracle collection is perfect for getting into the holiday spirit. A special thank you to Ballantine Books and Netgalley for this ARC. A MRS. MIRACLE CHRISTMAS was a joy to read. I highly recommend this book.

You know it's approaching the holidays when we get a Debbie Macomber Christmas novel! I was trying to save this book, but I just couldn't. I had to dive in and read it. I LOVED this book. This story revolves around Lauren & Zach, a childless couple, and Helen, Lauren's grandmother who has dementia. We also have a return of Mrs. Miracle, whom I absolutely adore. There is a lot of knitting in this story, which I will confess, I learned how to knit because of Debbie Macomber. I loved all the characters in this book. Lauren is an elementary school teacher and Zach is a computer programmer. They are childless, but have struggled with IVF and had a foster child adoption fall through. Helen has dementia and is unable to live alone any longer, so Lauren and Zach have moved in with her. Mrs. Miracle has come to be a companion of Helen's during the holiday season. This book will make you laugh and cry and believe in Christmas miracles. It is definitely a must read for the holiday season. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions expressed are my own.

This is such a heart warming story! Zach and Laurel are such a lovely couple. They both want a baby so much but Laurel has given up. Her Nana has dementia and they hire Mrs. Miracle to care for her. This is such a beautiful Christmas story about hope and miracles.. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
