Reena's Miracle

by Terri Reid

Reena's Miracle is a heartwarming holiday story about the miracle of friendship.

Nancy Schmidt was not interested in anything to do with Christmas. After the death of her husband three years ago, she found no reason to celebrate any longer. The last thing she needed in her life was a perky, overly-friendly, cookie-bearing new neighbor who wouldn't take no for an answer. Or, maybe that was exactly what she needed in her life.

Grab some tissues and get ready

I have hidden from Christmas for years. Today I gave this book to someone very important to me. Terri Reid is my favorite author. Thank you Terri for waking my Christmas spirit.

Heartwarming

Too many neighbors are not neighborly. This is a short story about how Reena touched so many lives.

Darn tear jerkers.

Great, short Christmas story about what the Christmas Season should be all about. I knew what was coming, but enjoyed the characters and the story along the way! I'm currently encouraging my 12-year-old to read this. I love when I come across a book that I love and is appropriate for me to share with him.

Beautiful!

What a touching story. Both a powerful message and a reminder of how we our life can either be just lived, or it can be used in service for the good of other. Loved it!

Fabulous Christmas story
This is one of the best Christmas stories I've read!
It is heartwarming, with relatable characters who carry the story to a wondrous ending.
If you only read one Christmas tale this season, make it this one.

eillyAnother treasure

So happy to read another story from my favorite author; Terri has been a big part of my life. When I lost my husband, I needed a friend and comfort so I reread all of the Mary O'Reilly series. It got me through many lonely hours, days and nights. Holidays are the hardest and this story reminded me that I'm not alone! I have children, grandchildren and new neighbors since I moved this year to Tomah, Wisconsin! Thank you, Terri

Wonderfully joyful.

This story struck a cord, in a good way. Getting together with my family will mean even more. None of us know when our time will be, so love a little more, give a little more and reap the joy from your efforts.
