'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
Small Miracles takes the reader on an uplifting journey as three unforgettable nuns learn more about life, love and friendship than they could ever have imagined.
The 1990s are proving tough for the convent. The order of the Sisters of Saint Philomena is down to its three last nuns. The place that Sisters Margaret, Bridget and Cecilia call home is in dire need of repairs and, with no savings and no new recruits, they are facing the prospect of having to sell up and leave behind the friends and neighbours in the parish community that they love.
That is, until ninety-year-old Cecilia decides to play the newly launched National Lottery and a series of small miracles begins to unfold...
Three nuns play the lottery to save their failing convent, resulting in a story of friendship, community, faith and love, for fans of Call the Midwife.
