Good morning all!
I am announcing a giveaway for a book, possibly two. This is another way of thanking you for all the visits to my blog in 2011.
The book I'm offering is a copy of the memoir A Stolen Life by Jaycee Dugard. It is the dramatic story of the author being held captive for eighteen years by someone who abused her. To learn more about it, you can see it on Amazon. This is a hardcover book.
I've had a goal for this blog... I'd really like to have 200 followers by Monday, January 1. Right now I have 196, which means I need at least four more. Here is an incentive to sign up, if you haven't already... if I can reach 200 or more by Monday, I'll do another drawing for a second book. This one is by Ursula Hegi, one of my favorite authors. Her book, Stones from the River is one of my all-time favorites. The book I'll be giving away is Salt Dancers. It's about inherited sorrow, when the main character finds herself pregnant at forty-one. She returns to her home in the Pacific Northwest to confront haunting memories of her past. You can find out more about it on Amazon. This is a paperback copy.
There is one hitch. You need to be a follower to enter the giveaway, so no "anonymous" entries, please. If you want to enter the giveaway, please leave a comment with your "sign-in" name and specify which book you'd like to receive.
I'll be announcing the winner (or winners) on Monday and sending the book or books on Tuesday.
I hope your Christmas was wonderful. Mine was very enjoyable. It was great to have our sons, Paul and Tim, home to visit us.
My friend, Mary Ann, another former Amish person who writes the blog, A Joyful Chaos, has made a very wonderful announcement of the miracle that happened in her life during Christmas. Please click over to see her post. Congratulations, Mary Ann and family!

I would love to win another book from you! (P.S. last book hasn't arrived, maybe Christmas slowed it down.) I am now a follower, thought I was already, but couldn't find me. Happy New Year, Saloma!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll have 200 followers before the New Year's here. In any case, thanks for the offer of these two books. Can't make up my mind which one I'd like, so any one will be super!
ReplyDeleteAm I first?? I am a follower..
ReplyDeleteI think my follower name is Nancy-(sewingnancyl(at)gmail(dot)com. I have already read A Stolen Life by Jacee Dugard so I would like to be in the running for Salt Dancers.
KQ Sue, I sent out your book the day of the drawing, but it went out "media mail." The last time I sent something to your region, it took a very long time. If you don't have it by the end of the week, please let me know.
ReplyDeleteLinda, thanks for your support, as always.
Nancy, I just hadn't posted the first two that came through, but you are one of the first!
All best,
Saloma
Ok, thank! I was getting worried about it.
ReplyDeleteI would so much love to win the Jaycee Dugard book "A Stolen Life". I love your blog and have been a follower for a while now. Can't wait to hear if I am the winner!!!!
ReplyDeleteHope that you and your family have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Salt Dancers ... love the title.

ReplyDeleteHi. I have forwarded your blog address to my sister who is going through some difficult changes in her life. I am hoping she signs up but she is a bit technology challenged. I think that your thoughts might help give her some perspective on life. And of course i would like to win a book! ;0)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your blog. Please enter me in your drawing. "A Stolen Life" would be my first pick but any of these would be great. Vicki
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your blog and your book Why I left the Amish.
ReplyDeleteI would be happy with either book.
They both sound good.
I see you are at 201 followers. How exciting ;)

Wishing everyone a happy new years and the best of health for all. Richard
ReplyDeleteI love to read and the book "The Stolen Life" sounds like the kind of book I lke to read. Please enter me in the drawing, and thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win either book. I really enjoy your blog and have read your book on my Kindle. I am looking forward to your next book. I think I was your 200th follower. Congratulations!!....Ronnie
ReplyDeleteHello. I just found your blog and really enjoy reading it as I have ties to the Amish. If it's not too late, I would like to be in the running for either book. Thank you and have a wonderful 2012!

Woo Hoo! Doing the "Happy Dance"! Your book arrived, a few minutes ago. What a lovely bag and your inscription in the book is so kind. I will gain inspiration to forage forward into the New Year, from the inscription! Hope you have a great New Year!
ReplyDeleteHope I'm not too late - I'd be happy to win and read either book. I've belonged to a book club for over 20 years and have read Stones of the River, so I'm sure Salt Dancers would be good, also. And Jaycee Dugard - I find her spirit simply amazing.
