Night of Miracles by Elizabeth BergMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Book 2 of Mason series
Arthur Moses opens his home to Maddy the pregnant teen with whom he befriended on his daily trips to the gravesite of his wife Nola. It isn’t long before his neighbor Lucille Howard moves in to assist with Maddy. She is a lonely woman who tries to keep busy by giving cooking lessons. While Maddy is away at school for photography Lucille maintains the home which Arthur Moses left to Maddy when he passed.
Lucille develops an unexpected relationship with the family who currently live in her former home. She has experienced love and loss over the years but accepts an invitation to dinner by Jason and Abby Summers. They have a 10 year old son Lincoln and a dog Henry.
Again, the story has friendships forming between unlikely people. Lucille forms connections with many of the clients who attend her cooking classes. Several characters are introduced who will follow into the the next book, The Confession Club. Iris Winters becomes invaluable to Lucille when her health begins to fail. Lucille begins a rigid and meticulous training so that Iris might help continue her classes when she is unable.
The mix of characters provide a touching reminder that family are those with whom we choose to have around us.
