Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah Giveaway March 4 - 18

I am very excited to offer you guys an opportunity to win a signed copy of Winter Garden, the newest novel  by Kristin Hannah.  I just finished reading it myself and it was absolutely amazing. My review will be coming up shortly but for now I will just say that this novel will be on my list of top ten reads at the end of the year.

Here's what the publisher says:

Winter GardenCan a woman ever really know herself if she doesn’t know her mother? From the author of the smash-hit bestseller Firefly Lane and True Colors comes a powerful, heartbreaking novel that illuminates the intricate mother-daughter bond and explores the enduring links between the present and the past .

Meredith and Nina Whitson are as different as sisters can be. One stayed at home to raise her children and manage the family apple orchard; the other followed a dream and traveled the world to become a famous photojournalist. But when their beloved father falls ill, Meredith and Nina find themselves together again, standing alongside their cold, disapproving mother, Anya, who even now, offers no comfort to her daughters. As children, the only connection between them was the Russian fairy tale Anya sometimes told the girls at night. On his deathbed, their father extracts a promise from the women in his life: the fairy tale will be told one last time—and all the way to the end. Thus begins an unexpected journey into the truth of Anya’s life in war-torn Leningrad, more than five decades ago. Alternating between the past and present, Meredith and Nina will finally hear the singular, harrowing story of their mother’s life, and what they learn is a secret so terrible and terrifying that it will shake the very foundation of their family and change who they believe they are. 

Make sure to visit Kristin Hannah's website for more details about this book and her other, wonderful novels.

  24. If the "secret so terrible and terrifying that it will shake the very foundation of their family" part cannot raise your curiosity about the story then you better check your pulse.

    Sounds like a good read, thank you for sharing!

  33. I believe this is a story that women, their daughters, their friends, and most men will enjoy; it is a story of hope, fear, death, friendship, sacrifice, honor, and history. It is also about fate, second chances, and personal redemption; it is a profoundly satisfying reading experience.
