Review:
 
Being a coffee drinker, I enjoyed sipping on a cup of coffee while reading the recently released Miracle At The Higher Ground Cafe', a short novella by Max Lucado, Candance Lee & Eric Newman. Probably almost every reader has heard or has read a book by Max Lucado. For me, this is the first fictional book that I have read by the author.

Miracle At The Higher Grounds Cafe' centers on a Chelsea Chambers returning to her hometown in San Antonio to reopen the family's coffee shop, which is located on the lower floor of an old Victorian house. This isn't exactly her dream job, but it is a good distraction as she tries to forget about her separation from her NFL star husband, Sawyer Chambers, but it trouble seems to follow her as she receives notice from the IRS that the coffee shop owes $86,000.78. Now there is no way that she can pay that off in 30 days, so she does some negotiating and agrees to pay $9,555.64 per month for nine months, which means she needs to sell 155 lattes a day!

Luckily for Chelsea, she has a guardian angel, Samuel, looking over her, whom tweaks the WiFi router at the coffee shop. Now whoever uses the WiFi can only have access to one site - The God Blog, where anyone can have their prayers answered. Soon enough, Chelsea easily has the first month's payment for IRS, but the cafe's success will come with a price.
 
Miracle At The Higher Ground Cafe' is a short, fast-paced novella that is cleverly written with likeable characters and an intriguing plot. As I was reading it, I kept thinking that the novella would make a great made-for-Hallmark movie. Overall, Miracle At The Higher Ground Cafe' is wonderfully book with a lot of heart and spirit.
