Description from the publisher:

Some say that whenever it snows in Charleston, God is giving a miracle to his most favorite of places. So, I reckon, the blizzard that bleached the entire sky that December must have been a blessing of epic proportions. It was certainly a miracle that I’d forgotten my cell phone after giving my Christmas Eve sermon and had to race back to the sanctuary in order to retrieve it.

Otherwise, how would anyone have ever known that right there in our famous nativity scene, a trembling, little Chihuahua had given birth to a litter of puppies? Yes, right there in the manger. O Holy Night for sure!

This is a story about how those special pups came to change our church—and all the people in it—for the better. Most especially my poor daughter, Abigail. Being the preacher’s kid is never easy. I know, because I grew up as one, too. But losing your spouse right while expecting to become a parent for the first time?

Well, that’s enough to make even the strongest of believers question God’s plans. I know I did. But then our Mama Mary Chihuahua and her Mini Miracles found us… And, well, I’ll let you read the story to find out what happened next!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MINI MIRACLES is the first in the Church Dogs of Charleston series. They will need to be read in the order of release

I must preface this review with the disclosure that I am owned by one sweet little Chihuahua. She is ten years old and full of sass. There is no doubt in my mind who rules the roost in my home, no matter how many times I try to tell her it’s me. Her name is Xiao Xiao (rhymes with now, now and means teeny tiny in Chinese).

Xiao Xiao saw the pictures at the beginnings of the chapters and – the darling little that she is – decided that it meant that she was a star! I must admit that I thought they were adorable and they did look just like my sweetheart.

This story is full of tragedy and hope. It brought tears and smiles. It made me sneak away to read another chapter, because I had to know what came next for the humans and the dogs. Abigail, Gavin, and Pastor Adam are all hurting in such familiar ways that I wanted to just hug and hold them until they could smile again, but that’s what they were doing for each other, right?

I loved the faith lessons without judgement or pressure. What a wonderful, modern, romantic testament.

While Mother Mary has found her home with Abigail and Gavin, I look forward to seeing where the puppies end up, whom they may be meant to help, and how.

Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
