MR. MIRACLE
Read by Elyse Mirto
BY DEBBIE MACOMBER

ABOUT THE AUDIO BOOK:
Beloved author Debbie Macomber celebrates the most wonderful time of the year in this heartwarming Christmas novel of romance, hope, and the comforts of home—coming soon as a Hallmark Channel original movie!

Harry Mills is a guardian angel on a mission: help twenty-four-year-old Addie Folsom get her life back on track—and, if the right moment strikes, help her find love. Posing as a teacher at a local college in Tacoma, Washington, Harry is up to the task, but not even he can predict the surprises that lay in store.

After trying to make it on her own, Addie has returned home to Tacoma for the holidays, but this time she plans to stay for good, enrolling in the local community college to earn her degree. What she doesn’t plan to do is run into Erich Simmons.

Addie and her next-door neighbor, Erich, are like night and day. Growing up, he was popular and outgoing while she was rebellious and headstrong, and he never missed an opportunity to tease her. Now she intends to avoid him entirely, yet when they’re suddenly forced to spend Christmas together, Addie braces for trouble.

Perhaps it’s the spirit of the season or the magic of mistletoe, but Addie and Erich soon find they have more in common than they thought—and that two people who seem so wrong for each other may actually be just right. With a little prompting from a certain angelic teacher, the two are in for a holiday miracle they’ll never forget.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Macomber's beloved and bestselling Cedar Cove Series became Hallmark Channel’s first dramatic scripted television series, Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove, which was ranked as the top program on cable when it debuted in summer 2013. Hallmark is now filming a second season of Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove which will premiere this July 19.

A devoted grandmother, Debbie and her husband Wayne live in Port Orchard, Washington (the town on which her Cedar Cove novels are based) and winter in Florida.

SOME OTHER HOLIDAY BOOKS BY DEBBIE MACOMBER: 


MY THOUGHTS/REVIEW:
MR. MIRACLE, by best-selling author Debbie Macomber, is her Christmas story for this year. Following her success with the past holiday "Miracle" stories, MR. MIRACLE is reminiscent of "It's a Wonderful Life" when an angel, Harry Mills, is sent to earth to help Angie Folsom. Harry plays the part of a professor in order to try to give Addie help as she returns home to rebuild her life. Of course, there is a love interest to warm up the holiday spirit. Harry is charming as is the whole story. What makes Debbie Macomber so successful with all she does is how she draws readers into the story. Her descriptive setting and well developed characters allow readers to create a mental image and thus feel part of the story. I think MR. MIRACLE is a great way to get in the holiday mood. I do wish I had waited a few weeks to read this book when weather is cooler, curled up with a hot cup of cocoa, but even so I did start thinking Christmas along with my iced tea as I read and enjoyed MR. MIRACLE.
