Queue of Prism Book Alliance Likes The Orpheum Miracle


Queue of Prism Book Alliance says of The Orpheum Miracle

I chose this one because I’ve liked Pat Henshaw’s other books. She does great with real emotion without adding too much angst. That’s one reason this story worked. Additionally the lack of over-the-top cheese that is so prevalent in Christmas stories endeared me even more.

The Orpheum Holiday Miracle

Last year's holiday story featured fruitcake. No fruitcake in this year's story.

Instead, this year, in The Orpheum Miracle:

Twenty-nine-year-old Mick, the son of crack addicts, isn’t exactly a dyed-in-the-wool Scrooge. Mick’s been on his own from childhood. As a teen, he lived in a shelter, where for a short time he had a boyfriend. After the boyfriend left, Mick moved to the Orpheum Theater. While squatting there and taking care of the grand old building, Mick watched others celebrate the holidays from a distance, never able to share in their merriment.

Only his Technicolor dreams liven his dull, mechanical life until one day the world around him begins to change. Mick is surprised when a man named Jim buys the vintage Orpheum and plans to restore it. Something about Jim makes Mick think they’ve met before. In fact, Jim rekindles Mick’s longing for a better life and a little holiday magic for himself.
