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.
