Sweet Mercies

Although this charming book is indeed heartwarming, it has the spice of reality which prevents it from becoming too sweet. I really enjoyed it – Katie Fforde
A wonderful, cheering Christmassy book about forgiveness and faith of all kinds. A perfect gift! – Julie Mae Cohen
I absolutely adored Sweet Mercies, which is if possible, even better than its predecessor, Small Miracles. Beautifully drawn characters, full of a resounding zest for life, mingle with others not so lucky. The result is uplifting, joyful and bursting with hope…. A triumph! – Celia Anderson, author of 59 Memory Lane
On one level, Sweet Mercies is an accessible, light read, ideal to curl up with at Christmas. There’s lots of laughter - the havoc unwound by two playful kittens; Sister Bridget’s shenanigans with the bingo balls; the tragi-comic decapitation of a statue. But like its predecessor, the book touches on deeper themes… When the folk of Fairbridge experience divine tenderness and forgiveness through people of faith they are encountering for themselves the sweet mercies of God * Inverness Courier *
Charming, witty and warm, Small Miracles is a gentle gem of a novel, a cheery balm in troubling times – AJ Pearce, bestselling author of Dear Mrs Bird, on Small Miracles
Heart-warming and quirky, with a cast of lovable characters…Just wonderful. I loved it – Jill Mansell on Small Miracles
I want to be in the kitchen with Sister Bridget cooking up a storm! We should all learn to follow our hearts and find what we love, and be thankful for those we love. This book is a joyful celebration of love – Jo Thomas on Small Miracles
With gentle humour, and surprising twists and turns, this is just the book we need in these difficult times. I didn’t want it to end – Katie Fforde on Small Miracles
