Harry Mills is an angel who's been sent on an earthly
mission. His guise is teaching a classic literature class
at the local community college, but he's really here to
help Addie Folsom. Addie is dyslexic, quit school in her
senior year and struck out on her own. Now, six years
later, she's returning home to start over. Her first order
of business is to get her diploma, so she can get a degree
and do something good with her life. That's where Harry
comes in. Addie is taking his literature class.
Harry has an earthly mentor, Celeste Chapeaux. Celeste
doesn't look anything like Harry imagined. With her
piercings and tattoos, and being much younger than Harry,
he's not sure she can give him much guidance. Another part
of Harry's assignment is also to bring next-door neighbor
Erich Simmons into Addie's life. Addie and Erich have a
negative history from childhood, which proves to be a
challenge for Harry. Can he accomplish his mission and keep
himself out of trouble?
Debbie Macomber brings us another delightful
Christmas tale with MR. MIRACLE. Her characters are an
eclectic mix of personalities that make the story magical.
Many of them have lost their heavenly perspective. They
struggle with pride, hard-headedness and attitude. Ms.
Macomber incorporates humor and comical scenes into the
story to give it charming appeal. MR. MIRACLE is a story
about change. Several of the characters bring a lot of
baggage to the table in this tale and need a change of
heart. Harry himself struggles with being a human on earth
and having human emotions. I always love Ms. Macomber's
Christmas stories, and this one is just as charming as the
rest. She reveals that MR. MIRACLE will be a Hallmark
Special and leaves the door open for a sequel. I'd love to
read more adventures about Harry.
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.
