A Mrs. Miracle Christmas by Debbie Macomber is the eleventh book in the contemporary romance Angelic Intervention series. Each book of this series is going to feature a new lead couple so the books can be read as a standalone or in any order and understood although some characters do carry over book to book keeping to the Angelic theme.

In one of Debbie Macomber’s angel stories, Mrs. Miracle is sent to the home of Laurel and her grandmother Helen as a caretaker. They could both use some miracles this Christmas as Laurel and her husband have been struggling with infertility, and Helen is struggling with memory loss. Full of Christmas cheer and small signs from above, this angel-filled story is as cozy as a peppermint latte on a snowy day.

If you read no other Christmas book this holiday season let me assure you this is the one you want to read. I've read all of the author's angel books and thought I had read this one as well until I realized to my utmost delight this is a new Shirley,Goodness and Mercy book. She started with her angel books in the late nineties so I had no idea she would write a new one.

All the stars! A Mrs. Miracle Christmas is a delightful heart-touching story that had me shedding happy tears. Enjoyed it so much I read it straight through, it definitely lifted my spirits and put a smile on my face. A wonderful reminder that God is watching over all of us and to never lose hope. A perfect story for the Christmas season or anytime.

A cup of cheer for “A Mrs. Miracle Christmas”! Absolutely loved this one. Thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to enjoy this book well in advance of the release date. It brought my heart such joy! I have to say, to date, this is most likely one of my most favorite reads by Ms. Debbie! Perhaps it was the theme, or the timing of the story. I needed to come home to a tale such as this, these past few weeks! Having a rough day and then reading something to fun, uplifting and heart warmi

This is a quick easy read about a caregiver, who is really an angel, who comes to take care of elderly lady named Helen. Helen lives with Laurel and her husband Zach. Mrs. Miracle is a god send and soon Helen has a new lease on life. Mrs. Miracle lets Helen in on secrets about a baby who is coming soon to adopted by Laurel and Zach.

Mrs. Miracle is a Christmas tradition and I was thrilled to get to read this beautiful, miraculous story!
’It was the season, after all, and this year, for sure. The season of miracles.’

Disappointment after disappointment in conceiving or adopting a child has left Laurel with a lack of faith. She’s resigned herself to being childless and thought her husband, Zach, had done the same. With the diminishing health of her Nana also weighing her down, they are thrilled when Mrs. Miracle arrives to ...more

Angels and good feelings aside, I don't think this is one of Macomber's best. I found the dialogue repetitive and none of the characters particularly engaging. Mrs. Miracle was brought in as a care giver for a dementia patient but after the first chapter the dementia no longer seemed at issue. I also found Laurel's sudden and extreme change of heart over the baby issue bothersome.

Debbie Macomber does it again! My first holiday book of the season and it was a great one! I read it just in a few hours. A feel good story, perfect for all!

Mrs. Miracle, along with her friends, Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy, are sent to Earth on a mission. One family especially needs help and support and a little miracle of their own. Laurel’s grandmother is showing signs of dementia, and Laurel and her husband have moved in with her. But they have jobs and Helen needs someone to stay with her when they can’t. Enter Mrs. Miracle. But she is there to help more than Helen, though Laurel and Zach don’t know that yet. They have been longing to adopt a b

When I read a Debbie Macomber book, I feel like I’m coming home and receiving a most welcome hug and her latest book is no exception.

Laurel’s Grandmother Helen has played an important role in Laurel’s life and lives with the couple. When Helen’s health begins to fail, Mrs Miracle is a welcome caregiver who changes the life of this family.

4.5 stars for a Christmas read that shows me why Debbie Macomber is a #1 NYT bestselling author.
Mrs. Miracle is a delight as she goes about her duties with grace and great skill. Zach and Laurel need her help as a companion for Laurel's grandmother. Little do they realize that Mrs. Miracle has additional plans for them. Macomber injects her sense of humor and names a trio of angels Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy.

A typical Christmas story from the series, but much like a Hallmark Christmas Movie, you still want to read it and you'll enjoy it. In this version, family suffers from hardship (medical/family/financial) when an angel from heaven takes a human role in helping the family find their faith again and everything works out with a big red bow on it to give you a happy ending.

I goosebumped my way through this book! It was so touching and funny and sad and hopeful --the perfect ingredients for an inspirational holiday read.
Mrs. Miracle is back and living up to her name in this Classic Macomber Christmas story. And the McCulloughs are definitely deserving of some serious angelic intervention! Honestly, I cried at the end. Great heaving, hiccupping sobs. It was so cathartic. :-) This is my absolutely, positively all-time-favourite Christmas novel by Debbie Macomber. The ...more

Once I turned the first page on this one, I didn’t put it down until I was finished, and there is a teaser for another book, you will be hooked there also! I also loved that we are given an epilogue!
Debbie Macomber has done it again, and you don’t want to miss this feel good read, we really need to have one of these once in a while, and this doesn’t disappoint.
We are reunited with characters that we fell in love with in past books, and they will delight you here also.

This is a script for a Hallmark movie. I don't watch Hallmark movies, because I've heard that if you roll your eyes too much they might get stuck that way. This one also involved a bit of head shaking because it includes ideas about heaven, prayer, and faith that I personally think are misleading if not entirely incorrect. But I suspect Ms. Macomber was not focusing on theology as much as the marketability as a Hallmark movie. And I guess it was a better book club choice for December than someth

A Mrs. Miracle Christmas was very sweet and tender, I feel like DM can do no wrong when it comes to holiday themed books and this was no exception. Definitely full of Christmas magic and charm with uplifting themes and a touch of faith. It’s one of those books that restores your own faith in humanity
![Natalie [genreneutralreader]](https://images.gr-assets.com/users/1429327064p2/17277003.jpg)
Too saccharine sweet and a lead female that gives a bad name to females everywhere with her dramatics. The theme of struggling for a baby should be an easy one to relate with, but the lead was just so self-centered and irrational that I couldn't even enjoy that deeper aspect.

Chris who?
Christmas!
It is that time of the year. The TV is either blaring about the most amazing toys or airing movies I never want to watch. Cities have begun wearing their most sparkling coats of light and colours. To be honest, Christmas has never been my favourite time of the year. Sarcastic and cynical me prefers to treat her family and friends throughout the year instead of waiting for a special day.

I know you do. That's the price we pay when we love. It's joy and loss all wrapped up in one package. The thing you need to hold onto is that while the heart may shatter into a thousand pieces, the soul remains intact.”
