Comment #12 : Angel B
Congrats!
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:
“Thank goodness you’re such a plain child. You’ll have to rely on your wits.”
So went the words of Grandma Bebe. And for all of my growing-up years, I scoffed at the beauty of my sister and what I saw as her meaningless existence. But my wits hadn’t served me well in this instance, for here I was, in jail. And while I could have seen it as carrying on the family tradition (for Grandma Bebe landed in jail for her support of Prohibition), the truth is, my reasons for being here would probably break her heart.
So how did I end up becoming a criminal? I’ve been pondering that question all night. Perhaps the best way to search for an answer is to start at the very beginning.
::::::::::::::
For three generations, the Sherwood women have fought for social justice. When Harriet decides to follow in their footsteps, she never imagined her efforts would land her in jail. Languishing in her cell, she sifts through her life and the lives of the brave women before her. They were fighting for their beliefs—but what is she fighting for?
In a stirring tale reminiscent of Eve’s Daughters, Lynn Austin spins a compelling generational saga of finding the courage to live a legacy—a theme readers will resonate with for years to come.
Check out reviews and read an excerpt from Though Waters Roar at Amazon.com
