The latest installment in Debbie Macomber's series of Christmas books is Call Me Mrs. Miracle (#8). Sending a copy to my aunt with an "Open Me Early" tag has become a Christmas tradition in my family. I find Ms. Macomber's books warm and life-affirming, not a bad combination for this time of year. Mrs. Miracle (not her real name!) seems to know an awful lot about the lives of the principal characters: Holly, a single woman who has custody of 8 year old nephew while her widower brother's National Guard unit is deployed to Afghanistan, and Jake, the son and heir of New York City's last big family-held department store. Yes, you can easily guess how the book will end, but the journey to get there with a few extra twists thrown in made me both laugh and shed a few sentimental tears . Plus, there are recipes! How can you beat that for a few hours' entertainment?
Sorry, but I have to go order my aunt's copy on Amazon...
