In
her time, Comtesse Amara de la Cortese was an unfeeling ruler with a heart
of stone. And so, one fateful Christmas, Saint Nicholas turned the
heartless ruler into a statue of stone, destined to wake from her prison
every fifty years to try and redeem herself by proving she now understands
the meaning of love. She has only ten chances and so far has failed the
first nine.
When she wakes for the tenth and final time to find herself in the care of
single father Nick and his sweet young daughter Sami, she knows something
has changed. Perhaps Sami is the key to the answer, maybe this innocent
child can teach her what all who have come before have failed to show her.
Miracle at Midnight is the first book I have yet read by
Stacia Wolf, but will certainly not be my last. This powerful story grabbed
me from page one, and had me turning the pages just as quickly as I could
read them, stopping only to wipe the tears from my eyes at times. This
story will evoke so many emotions from you that by the time you have
finished reading, your eyes will be watery, your heart will be full, and you
will feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
This is a story not just of romance, but of redemption and sacrifice.
Watching as Amara finally decides to ignore her quest and simply enjoy her
last moments of life and the people she has found to spend them with makes
one think about how we live our own lives each day, taking for granted the
people we love and the time we have. It was truly inspiring to watch
Amara’s evolution from a cruel sovereign to a woman who would do anything,
give up anything for the people she has grown to care for.
Miracle at Midnight has found a permanent home on my
bookshelf. This is the perfect inspirational story to read again and again
when one needs to be reminded of what is really important in life.
