I went to Random.org and got me some random integer winners. Commenters 9 and 29 are the winners.
And to all the others who entered, sorry you didn't win this time...but if you choose to buy this book or any other through Amazon because of DCR, it really helps us out if you click my links to get there. THANKS.
And...well, as long as I'm soliciting help, I'm super low on reviews at the moment. So, if you've read any good, clean books in any genre, I'd really appreciate a review in my inbox!
Hey! Remember when Becky Laney reviewed
Courting Emma by
Sharlene MacLaren? Well, the publisher has sent me not one, but TWO copies to GIVEAWAY. Do you want one? If so, just leave a comment here at the Giveaway or on the
Courting Emma review by Wednesday, May 14th and you'll be entered in! Good luck. I'll post a winner the next day.
Courting Emma is the third book in the Little Hickman Creek series. (The first two are
Loving Liza Jane and
Sarah, My Beloved.) Each book in the series features a new heroine. Liza Jane was a school teacher. Sarah was a mail order bride. And Emma--featured in both Loving Liza Jane and Sarah, My Beloved--runs the town's boarding house. She's known for being a bit grumpy, a bit moody. But my mom and I both agreed while reading the other two that Emma needed a book of her own. She was screaming to be the heroine of her own book. So we were both ecstatic to see that Courting Emma was on the way!
If Emma has issues, she has just cause certainly. Her father--who raised her alone after her mother's death--was an alcoholic. Is an alcoholic. Known prominently as the town drunk. Emma worked hard to separate herself from her father, from her upbringing. Worked hard to make herself respectable. When our story opens, we see this immediately. It's the fourth of July and once again her father is being a drunk and causing a scene in front of everyone. Emma has to "fetch" him away and try to save face. It is embarrassing to hear everyone talk, everyone whisper about what a hopeless disgrace her father is.
The knight in shining armor? Jonathan Atkins. (Another character that deserved his own book.) A man who grew up in this community, gone away to school, and returned as preacher. He wishes that he could help Emma out. He wishes that Emma would open her heart to him and to the gospel.
Courting Emma is a story of grace, of forgiveness, of broken hearts healing. It is a novel all about second chances. A novel that proves it's never too late.
I highly recommend this series. All three books are enjoyable. I loved them all.
I have a series of postcard with wall-to-wall animals on.

Thank you so much for mentioning Random.org! Next week I'm going to have a contest to win a copy of Jess Riley's debut book Driving Sideways, and I was trying to figure out how to simulate drawing the names out of a hat so I could decide on the winner. (P.S. Stop by if you want to enter. All you have to do is read the blog entry and comment on it. The contest will be up on Tuesday the 20th. It's not a clean read, but it should be a good one.)
