This book is to die for...after all the disasters that occurred in 2005 that devistated so many lives makes you wonder...But this book will inspire you to have faith and to believe that miracles do happen. I would recommend this book to anyone!!

There are times when you read a book at just the right time in your life and this is one of those books and times. Hurricane Katrina took so much away from Biloxi MS, but more than anything material, it took away the hope and spirit of so many, myself included. The holiday season started out so bleakly and I admit that I just wanted it to be over, but when you have children you know you have to find the strength to make it as wonderful as possible. It was a struggle until I read A Season of Miracles. I started the book and before I knew it I could feel myself smiling and just feeling good about everything. This book made me believe in miracles again but most of all the miracle of a better tomorrow. It makes you feel so good inside and you cannot help but feel a little sad when you come to the last page, as you feel as if you are leaving behind friends you have come to know and care about. This book is a miracle in itself and one which I will read over and over again.

Rarely does a book come along that makes you believe in Love and Miracles as this one. Four awesome authors tell incredible and different stories of Love, Christmas and Miracles. Rochelle Alers' Shepherd's Moon,tells of finding true love in the strangest of places after tragedy. Adrianne Byrd's WISHING ON A STAR,tells of a woman,who as a teenager was widowed and forced to give up her daughter for adoption, seventeen years later she meets a man who has a daughter that wants to meet her birth mother and the wish on a Christmas star they both make will bring tears to your eyes and joy to your heart. Kayla Perrin's Blind Faith brings a miracle in a snowstorm, and Janice Sims' Christmas Serenade brings music to your ears and a couple together for the Holidays.

This was a wonderful book that you will want to read as many times as you can, not only during the holidays.

Get ready for four romantic tales from four awesome authors. Rochelle Alers leads off with Shepherd Moon. In it, Emery and Rhianna finally bring closure to the death of his twin brother as they rediscover their feelings for each other. Adrianne Byrd comes next with the thoroughly enchanting Wishing on a Starr. Then, Kayla Perrin features two estranged lovers in Blind Faith. The last story is A Christmas Serenade by Janice Sims. I have to admit this was my favorite. Fate intervenes and connects two musicians (Jack and Callie). Their devotion to their music is surpassed only by the love they come to find in each other. This is definitely the book to get you through the Christmas holiday. Grab a copy and a cup of cocoa, then curl up for a great read!

I so loved this book. The characters were vividly written and the stories was utterly charming. Its both heart warming and a book you will not want to put down. And although all the stories were marvelous, I have to say I was quite taken with Adrianne Byrd's "Wishing On A Star". I would and will reccomend this book to everyone.

This book helped me to remember the true meaning behind Christmas and the value of embracing the spirit of giving.

There are four enchanting stories which will enhance the real meaning of the season and the blessing of miracles.

"Shepherd Moon" by Rochelle Alers tells of Rhianna, a young woman who fled her hometown when her fiancé was killed in an automobile accident. The face of his twin brother was too painful a reminder of what she had lost. Ten years later Rhianna returns home because of a family illness and runs into her fiancé's twin brother and also her past. Now Rhianna can bring closure to her loss and accept the real reason she fled Shepherd, New York.

"Wishing on a Starr" by Adrianne Byrd shares the turmoil seventeen-year-old Gia suffered when she became a widow and a single mother in a matter of months. But Gia never saw her daughter, her aunt saw to that. The loss of her child forced Gia to leave Talboton, GA for New York City. Almost fourteen years later Gia still longs for her child and wants to do something about it. In a crowded department store, Gia bumps into Daniel Davis and his thirteen- year-old daughter, Starr. There is an immediate attraction between the two, and an answer to a wish even Gia could not have imagined.

"Blind Faith" by Kayla Perrin revisits Andrea and Mark, a couple who ended their relationship because Mark was snubbed by Andrea's parents. Years later Andrea's family has fallen on hard times, but Mark has excelled and is an entrepreneur. Their chance meeting is cordial but strained, still Mark is intrigued. An impromptu visit, a near fatal accident, and some blind faith are what Mark needed to propel him past his hesitancy about capturing his holiday miracle.

My favorite, "A Christmas Serenade" by Janice Simms, brings a world traveled concert pianist back to his roots in Charleston, South Carolina in search of himself. The best friend of his deceased mother welcomes him with open arms and southern hospitality. But this motherly matchmaker offers Jack so much more. She shares information about his parents and tapes of performances by her daughter, Callie. Callie is also a pianist, a blues singer and a magazine editor. When Callie and Jack meet the holiday suddenly feels and sounds majestic. But Callie is afraid that the difference between their respective backgrounds may be a problem.

THE SEASON OF MIRACLES is a Christmas Anthology filled with promise and hope. Grab a cup of eggnog, get comfortable on the couch and experience the joy of holiday love. This one will delight the heart.

This book was awesome! All of these authors are phenomenal and their stories in this book were great and very touching. I am a big fan of all four so I knew even before I purchased this book that I would love it and I did! Each story made me believe that Miracles can happen if you open your heart and believe.

I truly loved this book. All of the stories were very enchanting. I especially loved the story by Adrianne Byrd. It helped me to believe in love and dreams coming true. Thank you Ms. Byrd. I give this book a standing ovation.

The story "Wishing on a Star" by Andrianne Byrd was excellent.

The story details a young girl and her search for her mother while her father finds a new love. This story will make you believe in the magic of the season and is a great read. As always Ms.Byrd delivers a wonderful read for her fans.
