Maggie's Miracle (The Red Gloves Collection #2)

I buy these books, after reading them myself, for my great-granddaughters who are 11 and 13. They are actively involved in their church activities and love the books. The 13-year old is an avid reader and the 11-year old is quickly becoming one with Karen's books. Thanks to Karen Kingsberry for wholesome reading and the gift of believing in miracles!

Okay I am not plugging another book, but if you read "Tuesdays at Morrie's" you will love this book. It is for anyone that lost hope in God, Love, or just life in genreal. Faith is what it all boils down to. I picked it up and read it in a day. I had no idea what it was about but after the first page I could not put it down. As you read you feel for the character and their pain/joy. I especially loved the part that she incoporates Sept. 11th into the story line. I have ever intention in reading more of Mr. Kingsbury books. I look forward to the eye opening experience.

This book was about Megan, a high powered lawyer who didn't believe in love due to a series of events in her life. Then there is her son Jordan, who prays for a new daddy and who wants her mother to believe in love again. Then enters Casey, who is matched with Jordan through a Healing Hearts program. Casey is struggling to overcome the death of his wife and baby.This book was very short and to the point. But in such a short book, Karen Kingsbury was able to fully develop the characters, so that we saw why Megan didn't believe in love.I loved the characters in this book, especially Casey. He is struggling with his grief, but he is able to help someone else out. I also loved the "Red Glove" theme in the book, about red being the color of giving. And I loved how Megan was eventually able to believe in love again.I really enjoyed this short little book. I haven't read Gidean's Gift, but plan to get a hold of that book, too.

The Red Glove series has added another success to its name! This novel, though short, has a lot of life within its pages. Though the ending wasn't really a surprise, it was such a 'feel-good' book it doesn't matter if you're surprised. I found myself grinning during the happy times, as the climax built up, and getting teary eyed during the 'looking back' phase of the book. No matter what, you will finish the book and be grateful you have a heavenly Father that looks out for you ....... in bad times and most especially in good.Thanks Karen Kingsbury, for your dedication to providing quality fiction to readers that like a good, clean book to relax with at the end of a long day!

If you are down and feel like life is little better than something you might scrape off your shoe, then the best thing you can do is pick up anything written by Ms. Kingsbury. This book is no exception.Megan Wright chose a "love" based on worldly measures, and it left her a heart broken single parent, convinced love is a sham. Her son feels her pain, so with childish innocence, he writes God asking for a miracle for his mom. Though the letter is never mailed, as Megan (Maggie) does not know the address, it has a surprising result.Equally pain filled is Casey Cummins, a widower who responds to an ad for adults to help hurting children. Being paired with Maggie's son turns out to be the best thing that ever happened to all three, especially when Maggie learns the truth about who Casey is.***** All the events here are things that could be dismissed as coincidence, but the discerning heart will see them as miracles God has used ordinary people to work. This is a beautiful story, one that will touch your heart with joy and hope. *****Reviewed by Amanda
