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.

Disclosure/disclaimer: The books for the Fall Into Reading giveaways are graciously provided by the publisher. I have not had a chance to read them, so can not offer an endorsement or critique. All book information is provided by the publisher.

This week’s giveaway:

The Silent Gift
by Michael Landon, Jr. and Cindy Kelley

From the publisher:

SilentGiftFrom the creator/director of the Love Comes Softly film series–
a story both bittersweet and heartwarming of a mother and her son, and of his unusual gift.



The decade of the thirties was a time of enormous uncertainty — for the world, for America, and in particular for one lonely, struggling mother and her disabled son. Their story is one of unyielding love and incredible sacrifices in the face of circumstances beyond belief.

But then The Gift appears — where has it come from, and why? How can a young boy who cannot communicate provide comfort and direction to seekers who learn of the special ability? Whatever the source, its presence brings a single shaft of light and hope to Mary and her beloved son, Jack. Will it be enough?

A novel filled with passion, with yearning, and with hope.

Though I have not personally had a chance to read this novel, my blog friend, Carrie, has (and she loved it!). Check out her review and her interview with the book’s authors.

You can also find more reviews of The Silent Gift and read the first few pages at Amazon.com
