Call Me Mrs. Miracle by Debbie Macomber is hands down, my favorite Christmas story this holiday season. I wish I would have caught the television rendition of this book. It was absolutely heartfelt, Christmassy, and full of promise and hope. Everything I was looking for in a holiday book, plus a little surprise at the end that tugged at my heart to the point where I was reaching for the tissues but smiling at the same time.

In this story we meet Jake Finley, who works for his father in their fami...more

I watch a ton of heart-expanding holiday movies around Christmastime (yes, late October counts as Christmas season), but I never read something that would put me in the giving, lovey-dovey mood.

I consider myself a cranky book Grinch anyways, so I eye-rolled thinking about a book I knew would probably have a happy ending. To my Grinchy shock, “Call Me Mrs. Miracle” turned out to be the literary equivalent of baking sugar cookies in my heart. I’m suddenly buying a turkey for Tiny Tim and handing out presents to the Hoos in Whoville. So is this worth the read before the Hallmark TV movie comes out this November? Oh yeah. It is.

Debbie Macomber isn’t trying to make a superb psychological mystery here, you can easily predict what is going to happen as far as plot goes. Even the mystery of kindly old woman Mrs. Miracle did not trick me, this wasn’t like watching “Inception” or what have you. But “Call Me Mrs. Miracle” does succeed in an incredibly smooth and well-written style that makes you feel the warm fuzzies as you read. Sort of like figuring out your Christmas presents ahead of time; you still want those gosh darn presents. The characters are not especially complex and holiday corniness abounds, but by some “miracle” this book succeeds. I was even amazed to find three plot-related recipes scattered in the book, it floored me with sincerity and a weird kind of charm. I am literally going to be making the “sugar cookie” recipe this week.

With a bit of a religious feel and a fantastically sweet plot resolution at the end, this is a book I’m absolutely recommending to my mom. For anyone, guy or girl, who does Christmas shopping, decorating, baking, etc., it will definitely pump you up and put you in the “mood”. “Call Me Mrs. Miracle” will also appear on the Hallmark channel on November 27th, so I recommend become an expert on the story so your heart won’t explode with joy during the movie.

Wrapping my cubicle in Christmas lights after writing this.

Once again, Debbie Macomber delivers in this delightful Christmas tale that takes us back to what it was like as a child and the deep longing for that really special Christmas gift.

Gabe’s mom had passed away years ago. His dad, Mickey, was doing his best raising him with some help from his parents. However, after the devastating earthquake in Haiti, his parents decided that their retirement would be best spent volunteering over there. Then unexpectedly, Mickey’s national guard unit was called ba...more

Jake Finley used to believe in sprinkle sugar cookies, mistletoes and a stocking full of goodies, but now all of those things bring heartache and pain. Years ago, he lost his mother and sister in a freak accident on Christmas Eve and the holiday is just a downer. As a manager of one of the biggest department stores in the city, he needs a miracle to keep his family store from going bankrupt. Ordering more than enough toy robots, Jake thinks he has an idea, but little does he know, his miracle is not coming in the form of a toy.

Holly has her hands full and she is barely keeping up. Her widowed brother is deployed overseas and she has agreed to watch her nephew for the year. As she is struggling to pay her bills and stay on top of her financial problems, her nephew, Gabe is an added burden. Not to mention, they haven’t been bonding over the past few months and Holly wants to bring some sort of joy to his life this holiday season. So when Gabe mentions he wants this expensive toy robot, Holly sets out on a mission to buy him the toy. While Jake and Holly both try to make their holiday wishes come true, they get a little help from Mrs. Miracle, an elderly lady employed at Finley’s department store for the holiday season. Mrs. Miracle has a few tricks up her sleeves and she is sprinkling her magic on them.

Christmas is my favorite holiday and reading this book just warmed my heart completely. Mrs. Miracle’s character is a bit hokey. She is a likeable enough character but she is almost too cheery and perfect, which I understand because it’s her nature. Even though she is a sweet-tempered woman, she has a bit of spunk in her attitude and she humorously forces her point across.

Despite Call Me Mrs. Miracle’s predictability, you still can’t help but continue to read on to see how it all turns out. The secondary characters add richness to the story. Gabe is an adorable kid who wants to have his father home for Christmas. Jake and his father have to deal with the past instead of running from it. Holly’s boss, fashion designer Lindy Lee and Holly’s brother, all make for a wonderful addition.

I wonder what other humorous tricks Mrs. Miracle may bring readers in the future. If you enjoyed reading Mrs. Miracle, then you will enjoy reading Call Me Mrs. Miracle.(less)

Money is tight but she is saving every bit she can to get Gabe the toy robot he so badly wants. She loves Christmas, unlike Jake Finley and his father, owner of Finley’s Department Store, who no longer celebrate Christmas after a tragedy. When Holly and Jake meet sparks fly – but Holly and Jake still need a miracle – Mrs. Miracle that is.

“Call Me Mrs. Miracle” is a sequel to Debbie Macomber’s “Mrs. Miracle” and is an even more delightful read than the original. I was a little bit nervous about reading it because Macomber wrote it knowing it was going to be a movie and the producers wanted “the story to be the same…only different”, but Macomber was up to the challenge and has come up with a book that is perfect for the holiday season and is bound to keep readers smiling. (Yes, there was some sadness in Jake’s background story but even that has a “happy” ending.) Macomber’s decision to have Finley’s Department Store be located on 34th Street is an inspired one that adds a lot of charm to the story. The romance between Holly and Jake is very sweet, very cute, and just a bit magical. Gabe is a typical Macomber child – very good, although not above getting in a little bit of trouble (not on purpose) who is adjusting to the death of his mother and his father being away. Mrs. Miracle is one of my all time favorite Macomber characters (who now sounds just like Doris Roberts in my head) and it was nice to read another book about her – I’m crossing my fingers it becomes an annual tradition, much like the Cedar Cove books, to have a Mrs. Miracle book to read at Christmas (and maybe her friends Shirley, Goodness and Mercy could visit her). As an added bonus for her fans, Macomber includes some recipes from Debbie Macomber’s Cedar Cove Cookbook (the fried chicken recipe sounds yummy).

“Call Me Mrs. Miracle” is another cute book by Debbie Macomber.

This Christmas, and every Christmas after, I plan on snuggling up with this gem of a book. Call Me Mrs. Miracle is the sequel to the hit Mrs. Miracle written by Debbie Macomber, and I highly recommend this to all readers.

As a book reviewer I often get a book weeks before it is released to the stores to sell, so with that being said, I was given an advanced copy of Call Me Mrs. Miracle during the Summer, and to say I was not in the “spirit” to read a Christmas book is true; however, once I picked it up, I could not put this book down. I was enveloped by my imaginary snuggly blanket, sipping hot cocoa, and enjoying all the pleasures the holiday season brings with it. Macomber has an eloquent craft of placing readers in her books. With every page that I turned, I felt like I was right there with these characters. This is an attribute I look for in every (and all) books I read. Macomber received high marks in my books for this.

Jake Finley and Holly Larson are both in need of holiday miracles, and who better to grant them than Emily Merkle? Emily Merkle, whose name is cleverly mistaken for Miracle, works her magic once again in this book. Call Me Mrs. Miracle begins with Jake Finely, the young son of J.R. Finley, over estimating Finley’s toy stock. He ordered hundreds of the toy robot called: Intellytron the SuperRobot (or just Telly for short) and is under immense pressure to sell them all by Christmas Eve. J.R. is none-too-pleased with his son’s actions and threatens to fire Jake if all of the robots are not sold.

Holly Larson, the young fashion assistant and now step-in mother to her eight-year-old nephew Gabe, is strapped for cash and desperate to provide Gabe with a wonderful Christmas. Holly’s brother Mickey, as the readers learn, was sent out on a fifteen-month deployment to Afghanistan with the National Guard. Not only is Holly’s brother absent for the Holiday’s, so are her parents, leaving Holly, alone, to take care of her young nephew. Call Me Mrs. Miracle begins with Holly and Gabe’s strained relationship turning for the better. She is relieved she and Gabe are on better terms, and therefore, she is determined to provide him with a Christmas he’ll never forget.

Where does Mrs. Miracle fit in? Well, Emily is Finley’s new sales assistant. Who at one point has not dreamed of working in a toy store? I think it would be great fun to be able to play with toys all day! I will not give any details away from this point on, but I will say Jake, Holly, and Gabe become very close because of Mrs. Miracle and her involvement with the toy department. Gabe’s one wish is to get a Telly for Christmas and he more than once finds himself, and his aunt, at Finley’s.

Macomber has written a lovely Christmas story! I love how descriptive she was with New York City and Christmastime. I, myself, have never been to New York and through Macomber’s writing, I felt as if I was riding in a carriage, taking in the decorations, or snacking on roasted chestnuts. I may have sighed in awe a few times through these sections. Bravo to Macomber!

To conclude, I wanted to give Call Me Mrs. Miracle a 5 star rating, however, I felt as if the last chapter was rushed and felt as if it could have been a little bit longer. Although there was one minor hiccup, Macomber wrote a fantastic Christmastime book and I highly recommended it be read, and then read again each year that follows.

Until next time,

Happy Reading!

Emily Merkle (call me Mrs. Miracle) is working at the Finley Department store in the toy section. It's a family run store and Emily's boss is the owner's son Jake Finley.

Jake lost his mother and sister on Christmas Eve when their cab hit another car, since then his father and him have been doing there best to forget that Christmas ever existed. They always take a vacation through Christmas, the only realistic part of Christmas for them is they they know that they will make a killing on toys because of the season.

Holly is struggling this year, her brother had to go to Afghanistan and she was the only one able to take care of his eight year old son, Gabe. Her parents are out the country also so she is feeling a little bit alone. At first its a little touch and go with her and her nephew, but things are starting to get better.

When Jake and Holly meet at a coffee shop it just seemed fated that they would meet again later at Finley's department store. At the store is where Gabe tells Holly what he wants for Christmas, a Intelltron Robot. The only problem is, is the cost, Two Hundred and Fifty dollars.

Mrs. Miracles on a mission to put Jake and Holly together because they are a great match. She is always encouraging them to do things together. She also has some things in store for some of the other characters as well as she pulls together what she told Gabe, 'Would be the best Christmas ever.'

The only words I can think of to describe Call Me Mrs. Miracle is, delightful, funny, and inspirational. This is my first book by Debbie Macomber, but it won't be the last. Last year I watched a delightful movie on TV around Christmas time called Mr. Miracle so when I seen that Debbie Macomber had a new Mrs. Miracle book out I jumped at a chance to review it.

The author has a great way of blending great characters with a sweet storyline. You just fall in love with all the characters and you just get that great feeling at the end when its over but there is also that sadness because its over.

Its a romance story but it has so much more too it. I would really call it a light romance and one of the things I love about it is the fact that it has no sex scenes at all in the book. Its not written as a inspirational book yet I could with out a doubt tell my Christian friends that it would be a great book for them to read for the Christmas holidays. I would most definitely recommend this book to anyone! Its a great light read.
