A Miracle in the Library (Mitch & Cian Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 125 ratings

Seventeen-year-old Mitch McCann has been trying to dodge his bullies for eighteen months. He isn’t out, but that hasn’t stopped the popular gang at school from tormenting him for being gay. Three weeks before Christmas, in a desperate attempt to shake his pursuers, Mitch flees into the abandoned community hall, only to discover the building is far from empty; inside he finds a fully stocked library as well as Mr. Nichols, the very welcoming librarian.

The library turns into Mitch’s refuge of choice, where he can read books that answer his endless questions, without fear of encountering abuse. His peace of mind is shattered when nineteen-year-old Cian Leavy enters his sanctuary. Cian is the boy who made Mitch realize he’s gay, and he’s more attractive now than he was eighteen months ago, when Mitch literally ran into him.

Will Cian unwittingly disrupt Mitch’s life again? Or has the scene been set for a miracle in the library?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Helena Stone can’t remember a life before words and reading. After growing up in a household where no holiday or festivity was complete without at least one new book, it’s hardly surprising she now owns more books than shelf space while her Kindle is about to explode.

The urge to write came as a surprise. The realisation that people might enjoy her words was a shock to say the least. Now that the writing bug has well and truly taken hold, Helena can no longer imagine not sharing the characters in her head and heart with the rest of the world.

Having left the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam for the peace and quiet of the Irish Country side she divides her time between reading, writing, long and often wet walks with the dog, her part-time job in a library, a grown-up daughter and her ever loving and patient husband.

    I featured Miracle in the Library as part of my series of Random Tales of Christmas 2018 but was unable to read it before the holiday, how it missed my After Holiday Christmas Reads list is beyond me . . . too many Christmas cookies I guess😉😉. But as I often say, there is never a wrong time to read stories of the holidays so I may be a few months late according to the calendar but finally I jumped in.

    Now, its no secret that I rarely read Young Adult, not that it is a bad genre I just probably could count on two hands the number of YA stories I've read since I was 16, I'll be 46 in October so that's 1 every 3 years on average. You can imagine that when I read one it sticks with me and Miracle is no different.

    Miracle in the Library is a sweet and insightful holiday read that will entertain no matter when you pick it up. Heart, friendship, discovery, and with just a touch of holiday magic makes this short novella a must.

    I think we could all use a little Christmas magic this year, and what better place to find it in than a library! This is a sweet YA story, that apparently leads into more NA books for this couple, which I look forward to reading.
    Mitch needed an escape from his bullies and he found it, and more, when he sought refuge in the local community center turned library. But all was not as it seemed! I enjoyed sweet tale about love and acceptance. I can't wait to read more about Mitch and Cian.

    4.5 stars. Mitch's need for refuge leads him to a place that gives him so much more. He finds clear information as he learns about his sexuality, gains a mentor and friend in Klaus and meets Cian. Mitch changes as he learns about and accepts himself, gaining confidence and growing into a relationship with Cian.

    It was easy to relate to Mitch, who had to run home after school every day to escape his bullies. Then one day when he's too exhausted he seeks refuge in the abandoned community centre where he finds a Christmas miracle: a supportive librarian and books to suit his needs. And even something more. Well written and sweet.

    A story with Christmas miracles, on finding just what you need the moment you need it. Which in this case is a librarian resembling Santa and the crush Mitch have had on his mind for far too long.
    It's decidedly sweet and leaves you feeling hopeful.

    A Miracle in the Library was a beautiful little story involving two of my favourite things, a library and a gorgeous love story. I lost myself in this book and had a big smile on my face when I finished it.

    This is a wonderful holiday story, especially for all of us book nerds who intimately understand how special a library can be. If you need a shot of warm and fuzzy feeling, this story will do it! Mitch and Cian’s story put a smile on my face and in my heart, thank you Ms. Stone :-)

    For a last minute writing project, this story sure packs a punch. It's sweet and deep, and full of the magic of Christmas. I'd definitely recommend it for filling in an hour and to get you into the Christmas spirit.
