Welcome to the first Fall Into Reading 2009 book giveaway, sponsored by Bethany House!
Here’s how the giveaways during Fall Into Reading 2009 book giveaways work:
Every Thursday, I will post about a new book that’s up for grabs (occasionally, there may be more than one book!). If it sounds like a book you’d like and you want to be eligible to win it, just leave a comment on the post and I’ll put your name in the virtual hat. I’ll leave the post open for comments until the following Wednesday at noon. I’ll then randomly pick a commenter and announce that person as the winner when I put up the next giveaway.
Also, I apologize to any international readers, but these giveaways are only open to readers in the U.S. or Canada.
This week’s giveaway:
From the publisher:
An Emotionally Gripping Story of Broken Relationships Restored
Kendy Laswell and her daughter, Maisey, used to do everything together–until one fateful summer when Maisey witnessed something she shouldn’t have, and their relationship fractured. Now, Maisey is back home to get married and Kendy realizes this is her last chance to reconnect with her daughter. Will Kendy and Maisey be able to reclaim the bond they once shared?
Maisey asked for a bride doll the Christmas she was five, mesmerized by her aunt’s wedding the fall before. Since then I’ve been dreaming of the day, or days, we would shop for her wedding dress. A mother helping her daughter find just the right creation for that momentous walk down the aisle strikes me as one of life’s happiest endeavors. The night she called to tell us she’d bought her “dream of a gown,” I sat beside Luke on the couch, a striking contrast to Maisey’s exuberance.
My dejection seemed a tad inappropriate. “Being hurt because I wasn’t included is silly, isn’t it?” I asked.
“Not so silly,” he said.
Will I ever quit longing for the Maisey who was once mine?
Check out reviews of Things Worth Remembering, and read the first pages of the book at Amazon.com

I think that I might have been a little to ambitious with my reading challenge…I have only been able to read 2 Nora Roberts books…they were great— but I bet you are all laughing at me now!! I was such an ambitious Newbie!! LOL. I will not give up though…going to keep plowing ahead…I love that I am setting aside time to read now!!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I’d love to try this book and author.
