July 2019 FREE BOOK!
Our FREE BOOK this month is the novel LILAC GIRLS by Martha Hall Kelly. I found this book to be absolutely mesmerizing and uplifting.
From the back cover comes this quote from New York Times bestselling author, Beatriz Williams. “Rich with historical detail and riveting to the end, LILAC GIRLS weaves the lives of three astonishing women into a story of extraordinary moral power set against the harrowing backdrop of Europe in thrall to Nazi Germany. I can’t remember the last time I read a novel that moved me so deeply.” Our July 2019 give-away copy is a new hardcover edition.
To have your name included in our Wednesday, July 24 drawing, just answer this question. Have you ever known a truly heroic woman? A simple yes or no answer is fine, or if you wish comment on the impact such a woman had on your life, please do so.
Happy Reading!
