Welcome to the September New Release Giveaway Hop! This event is hosted by Book Nerd. Now that fall is in the air and the days are getting shorter, I’ve been curling up to read more often. One of the books that delighted my heart was Joyful by Shelley Shepard Gray. One lucky reader will win a copy!
Once more, Shelley Shepard Gray takes us to Sugarcreek, Ohio. In this story, we revisit Junior’s family. If you’ll remember from Hopeful, Miriam and Junior end up taking care of his family after his parents died. It is a heartbreaking predicament yet the siblings really bond in an unselfish and loving way. Sticking together, the family learns to depend on each other. On the other hand, I was very frustrated with poor Elizabeth’s mother. When the mother remarried and moved away, she left Elizabeth with her grandmother and basically started a new life. I think this book stands alone, although it’s helpful to read the other books in the series just to understand the situation. If you’re a fan of Amish fiction, you’ll enjoy this story!
To enter, complete one or more of the optional entries on the giveaway form below. The contest is open to US readers ages 18+. Void where prohibited by law. Good luck!
Don’t miss Shelley Shepard Gray’s newest book in the Return to Sugarcreek series, Joyful. USA Today raved: “A sweet, straightforward story about how love can be tested by family, faith, and personal insecurity. Enjoyable and heartwarming.”
