JUNE 2024 FREE BOOK!
Our Free Book this month is the national bestselling novel, WE MUST BE BRAVE by Frances Liardet. From the back cover, “December 1940. As German bombs fall on Southampton, England, the city’s residents flee to the surrounding villages. In Upton village, amid the chaos, new married Ellen Parr finds a girl asleep, unclaimed at the back of an empty bus. Little Pamela, it seems, is entirely alone….”
Here’s a taste of the novel, the first few sentences of the first chapter: “She was fast asleep on the backseat of the bus. Curled up, thumb in mouth. Four, maybe five years old.”
WE MUST BE BRAVE is a beautiful book, perfect for book reading groups, (questions included). I fell in love with it, and I think you will, too! Our give-away copy is a new trade paperback (the tall kind).
To have your name included in our Wednesday, June 12 drawing just answer this question: Do you have a hobby or pastime that strengthens you when you are in difficult situations? Yes or no is a fine answer or tell us about it if you wish.
All best,

Yes – making my quilts as have to concentrate on doing correct measurements and it takes my mind away to a different place than one of worry!
Yes, I have taken up crafting since my youngest grand-baby started school about two years ago. In that I have found, for me, painting seems to lower my anxiety level, help with my stress. Crafting in general has been a god-send, giving me something to focus on, that is positive, other than overly focusing on other things, like missing my grandchildren while they are busy with school or different activities. Or overly focusing on how much I miss my mom who passed away March 30th. I only wish that I would have started it earlier in life, when I was in better health. Thank you so much Sue for all that you do, and everything you have contributed to the wonderful world of reading. Both me and my mother loved your books so very much. Thank you so very much ♡
