CALL ME MRS. MIRACLE - Debbie Macomber

I watched Mrs. Miracle last holiday season and loved it.  This is a press release for Call Me. Mrs. Miacle.



There’s no better time for a little romance than the holiday season, and no better way to stretch gift dollars than a good book. This year, with romance novels more popular than ever (accounting for more than $1.3 billion in sales last year), New York Times bestselling author, Debbie Macomber has crafted a wonderful new holiday story to delight fans this festive season.

And, for the second time, Debbie Macomber’s Mrs. Miracle will star in a holiday movie: the Hallmark Original Movie made from the novel will debut Saturday, November 27, 2010 (8p.m. ET/PT; 7C). Last year, the first Mrs. Miracle production was one of the season’s highest-rated holiday movies.

#1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Debbie Macomber brings you the gift of a story that’s destined to become a Christmas classic, in CALL ME MRS. MIRACLE (MIRA Books, October 2010. $CALL ME MRS. MIRACLE is a story that embodies the holiday season and everything it means and sees the return of Emily Merkle in her first appearance since MRS. MIRACLE, Debbie Macomber’s 1996 novel, and the 2009 Hallmark Channel TV movie of the same name starring Doris Roberts of Everybody Loves Raymond.

This Christmas, Emily Merkle (call her Mrs. Miracle!) is working in the toy department at Finley’s, the last family-owned department store in New York City. And her boss is none other than…Jake Finley the owner’s son. For Jake, holiday memories of brightly wrapped gifts, decorated trees and family were destroyed in a Christmas Eve tragedy years before. Now the spirit of the season means just one thing to him – and to his father. Profit. Because they need a Christmas miracle to keep the business afloat.

Holly Larson needs a miracle, too. She wants to give her eight-year-old nephew, Gabe, the holiday he deserves. Holly’s widowed brother is in the army and won’t be home for Christmas, but at least she can get Gabe that toy robot from Finley’s, the one gift he desperately wants. If she can figure out how to afford it…

Fortunately, it’s Mrs. Miracle to the rescue. Next to making Children happy, she likes nothing better than helping others – and that includes doing a bit of matchmaking!

This Christmas will be different. For all of them.
