A MRS. MIRACLE CHRISTMAS

Guardian angel Mrs. Miracle's voice rings out joyfully in Cassandra Campbell's narration. Laurel and Zach's marriage is on shaky ground after a failed adoption, and they are trying to find Laurel's grandmother a companion during the busy Christmas season. Enter Mrs. Miracle, who brings many tidings of good cheer that are sure to make listeners smile, and cry a little, too. Laurel's tightly held grief is well delineated by Campbell, as is Zach's renewed faith. Campbell illuminates the challenges dividing the couple without being preachy or naïve. Zach, Laurel, and Grandma Helen sound distinct in conversation, as do Laurel's students. Macomber's family story with romantic elements and a satisfying happy ending sounds more intimate in the audio format and is suitable for teen and adult listeners.
