The idea of the book was really good - but it didn't work out too well. The characters in the book are lovely and I loved their character development but the stories seemed a bit half baked. I didn't understand the point of some of the story lines - like the chickens. I think it may have been better to take a few sideline stories and fully develip them rather than a lot of little ones that don't really mesh well. Having said that, I loved Kaz and Lazzo - they were my favorite characters in the entire book. I liked Ruth but I liked her better in context of her growth with the other characters. I loved Rosie and slowly even liked Brian (somewhat). It's definitely a cute read but I think the most I would give it is 3.5 stars.

Ruth suddenly finds herself unemployed, homeless and pregnant!
Now she has to figure out what to do, how to do it, how to tell her very religious parents... and the baby's father!
While she waits for her apartment to be empty again, she lives with her uncles (twins) and learns a lot about family and herself.

I got my Advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for my review.

Ruth was brought up by very old fashioned religious parents who were always disappointed in her life choices and so when age 36 she turns up homeless and pregnant her relationship with them hits rock bottom! Unable to cope with the shame of an unmarried pregnant daughter they arrange for her to go and stay with her uncles in their rambling old farmhouse. Eric and Silas are identical twins in their seventies and completely eccentric,.... Silas is obsessed with picking up dead animals from the side of the road and practising taxidermy and Eric is intent on proving that Noah' s Ark couldn't possibly have held all those animals! With all sorts of animals floating around, a mad cleaner and various other people turning up to stay at the farmhouse it is certainly not going to be a quiet pregnancy for Ruth!

A lovely book with great characters all totally eccentric and living in a madhouse but one you couldn't put down until you had finished it

I received this ebook from NetGalley, I like books with the word "Miracle" in the title and this one was true at its word.
A woman's story, raised in a strict Catholic environment ....where her violin is her best freind and life, and disappointing her parents ends up pregnant , searching on her future what to do...and finds family is an important role that year and the bonds that help her find herself as she is going through the process.
Her uncles,who are twins, play a main event in not only her life but all the visitors who come stay with them,their cottage farm is almost like a Bed and Breakfast house except they get to stay all year.
They wear their heart on their sleeve,accepting every family member with open arms no matter what their flaws are.
Being a twin myself, I can relate to the uncles (the twins) antics and roles,and Ruth,the main character becomes very fond of them and understands their twin bond.
AN eccentric woman,Blossom...who is a true beleiver of the Virgin Mary image that appears in the Hen House wall, fights every moment for it not to be removed. Deep down, I found myself understanding her bitterness for people but deep down she loves being in this environment of family all around.
The humor and eccentriness in some of the characters keeps the reader glued to the chapters. The ending have a surprise twist and will keep you wanting to read more about these families.
I recommend this book if you want a good happy romance story to read.

Wasn’t sure about this book before I started it but found it to be a very enjoyable summer read & would recommend it.
