Heartwaming and memorable,
By A Customer
This review is from: Season for Miracles (Mass Market Paperback)
For the past year, Atlanta resident Emilie Dalton has lived in the Boston area to take care of her two nieces and nephew while their flighty and druggie mother, her sister Berry, failed to properly care for them. However, Emilie was unable to make things better and the court ordered the children be placed in foster homes. Emilie decides to flee with the three children to Atlanta to start over. Eventually, the foursome land in the small town of Bethlehem, New York with no place to stay, little money and a snow storm hitting the area. The waitress at a local diner suggests that they move into a nearby temporally vacant home.Desperate, Emilie heeds the advice of the waitress and move into the vacant home. The next day, the weary travelers are welcomed by several of the townsfolk, who assume that Emilie is the previously unseen niece of the former owner of the house. Emilie quickly falls for the magical allure of the town and its people, and cannot resist giving her three children one last Christmas before they go back on the lam. Local police officer Nathan Bishop loves the way Emilie takes care of the three kids and soon falls in love with her. She returns his feelings, but knows deep inside her soul that when the truth surfaces, she will lose him unless a miracle occurs. SEASON FOR MIRACLES is a wonderful romantic tale that will remind readers of such classics as THE GIFT OF THE MAGI and ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE. The lead protagonists are a beautiful pair and the support cast is as magical as any to grace a book during this holiday season. The story line is the typical moving tale that the great Marilyn Pappano constantly gifts her fans with , making the novel a truly magical Christmas present. Harriet Klausner

Yes, I cried too,

This review is from: Season for Miracles (Mass Market Paperback)
What a wonderful book. I have not seen the movie - not sure I would be able to really, but I tell you, the book is a great read. You will not want to put it down. I think I read this in one sitting or at least tried to. The opening chapter just broke my heart and even after reading it several months ago, I still think about it and how the story unfolded. I am so happy how Ms. Pappano took us on a journey, had us crying at times, laughing at times and in the end...we were smiling.
That's what books are all about, huh? After reading this book, I purchased every book I could get my hands on from Ms. Pappano's. Please, read this book...order it from either from Amazon or your local library if they have it. You will not regret it.

A Christmas Tradition...,
By "jjordansquire" (Lima, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Season for Miracles (Mass Market Paperback)
It's not Christmas for me until I've read the story "A Season for Miracles." It's uplifting and Christmas-y without being syrupy or overwrought. While I always enjoy Ms. Pappano's books, the Bethlehem stories are my favorites. If you haven't read this, don't spend time watching "A Wonderful Life" for the umpteenth time--reach for this book!
