Night of Miracles Book Review

I reserved another book from the new release section and it came in with other books.  This one was put to the bottom of the pile because I wasn't sure if I was going to be as into this book but once I started then I couldn't put it down.  Night of Miracles: A Novel by Elizabeth Berg was the second book in the series. 

The feel-good book of the year: a delightful novel of friendship, community, and the way small acts of kindness can change your life, by the bestselling author of The Story of Arthur Truluv  
Lucille Howard is getting on in years, but she stays busy. Thanks to the inspiration of her dearly departed friend Arthur Truluv, she has begun to teach baking classes, sharing the secrets to her delicious classic Southern yellow cake, the perfect pinwheel cookies, and other sweet essentials. Her classes have become so popular that she’s hired Iris, a new resident of Mason, Missouri, as an assistant. Iris doesn’t know how to bake but she needs to keep her mind off a big decision she sorely regrets.

When a new family moves in next door and tragedy strikes, Lucille begins to look out for Lincoln, their son. Lincoln’s parents aren’t the only ones in town facing hard choices and uncertain futures. In these difficult times, the residents of Mason come together and find the true power of community—just when they need it the most.

This was another great installment in the Arthur Truluv series.  I was interested to see the new stories of the people linked to Lucille Howard through her cooking classes and others in the small town.  There was a neighbor who was going through cancer treatments and the child was babysat by Lucille.  Lucille hired Iris to help her with her business when she got a little too overworked.  Iris' neighbor is interested in the women who is the waitress at the restaurant that Lucille makes cakes for.  There are neighbors and friends that are intertwined in an amazing way which is totally laid out so that you have to pick up the book to find out.  It is a great story of amazing love and warmth.  I hope that you check out this book and the other in the series to see these heartwarming story of how friends come together.
