Title: sweet if slightly trite
Product review: Mrs Miracle is the first of the Mrs Miracle series by Debbie Macomber. Widower of 4 years, Seth Webster, and his 6-year-old twins, Judd and Jason, are having a hard time holding onto a housekeeper. Seth's in-laws, Sharon and Jerry Palmer, seem headed for divorce after forty years of marriage. Travel agent, Reba Maxwell's mother is still insists on trying to reconcile her with her sister, Vicki, the sister who stole her fiancé 4 years ago. Christmas is approaching, but nothing seems to be going right. And then Emily Merkle turns up: she seems to have the answer to everyone's problems, with her cooking and advice and her reading to the boys. She seems heaven-sent, and the boys call her Mrs Miracle. Emily Merkle dispenses her wisdom in little "bon mots". This is a sweet if slightly trite tale which explores the plight of the widower, a marriage gone stale and the need for forgiveness. An enjoyable tale for the holiday season.
