Millie: The Millionaire’s Mouse
A Tiny Mouse with a Very Big Secret
Inspired by a True Story
Book 2 in the Wildlife Angel Messengers™ series
A young mouse gets her foot caught in an old trap and screams for help. The woman’s husband hears the small cry, loosens the trap, and releases her into the Minnesota cold, thinking he’s done the right thing. But when his wife finds out, her heart sinks.
Minus ten below, she steps onto the icy deck, her breath clouding in the dark. She shines her camera flashlight across the snow, scanning every corner, whispering a prayer for God to help her find the little mouse. Against the cold and the dark, she finally spots her—a tiny, trembling shape pressed against the corner of the house and garage. She scoops the mouse close, whispering, “You’re safe now,” and carries her inside.
Inside, she settles the mouse into a temporary cage for the night, spreading a soft cloth over the bottom. As she brushes her hand across the stack of court‑hearing papers on the table, she remembers the deer with the injured leg, the injured cottontail, the fox recovering from mange, and the raccoon with the sore leg limping along the garage wall. She remembers the dragonfly nymphs she saved from her beloved Pool Pond, carried carefully in a jar of water until they could flutter free. This house is more than walls; it’s a sanctuary. And now it’s under threat—not only from a real‑estate deal gone wrong but also from those who would trespass and poach on the very land that shelters them. Tenancy at will or ruse? Will she lose everything, or will the animals come to her rescue to save the one who feeds them?
The Lord answers—not with a sudden miracle, but with words that come to her heart: “Pray without ceasing.” That’s all she knows. She keeps praying for warring angels, and God keeps sending her animals and barely‑visible creatures—small, gentle helpers in the night. Will they be enough?
Inside this unlikeliest of mouse tales is a very real story: a woman fighting to save her home and wildlife sanctuary from a tangled web of judges, fraud on the court, and contempt of court—all told in a way young readers can understand and feel.
You’ve never read a mouse book like this before.
Meet Millie, no ordinary house mouse—a little creature with a secret, gleaming in the shadows, who gladly shares her tale to save the one who saved her.
Perfect for readers who love true‑story‑inspired adventures and heartfelt animal tales like Charlotte’s Web.
