INSPY Award Winners Giveaway: "Plain Paradise" by Beth Wiseman

Here is the new giveaway! I am giving away the books that won the INSPY Award, which is an award created by a group of bloggers for "excellence in faith-driven literature"?  Check out their website: http://inspys.com/ for more information.

I will be giving away these books one at a time, so be sure to come back again in a day or two for the next one!

Here are the rules:

A. Post a comment to this post to indicate you would like to be entered for this book.

B. Answer today's random question for fun. (forgot to change it at first again)

Today's question: Do you have an ereader? How do you like it?

My answer: I have a kindle. I like it ok, but I still prefer books in my hand. On trips or running the kids to places, it's really nice to just grab it and run.  And it does save on shelf space.  So there are good things about both for me.

Today's book: from the category Amish Fiction, Plain Paradise by Beth Wiseman.

Description:

Linda’s Amish life seemed like paradise. Until she found out her family had been hiding a secret since the day of her birth.

Josie was just a frightened teenager when she left her baby in the care of an Old Order Amish couple in Lancaster County. Since then, seventeen years have passed and while much has changed, one thing hasn’t. Josie still longs to reconnect with her daughter Linda.

But Linda is unaware of Josie--and living an idyllic life within the Amish community. The bishop’s grandson, Stephen, is courting her and she hopes that he will propose soon. When her birth mother comes to Paradise, Linda finds herself unexpectedly drawn to Josie’s world. Meanwhile, her adoptive parents--and her Amish beau--are trying to understand how this interruption in Linda’s life could possibly be God’s will.

As new relationships begin and old ones are tested, no one’s life will remain the same. In the process of losing and letting go--Linda realizes whose daugther she really is. And as only God can do, something more powerful and far more beautiful is forged within the Daugthers of the Promise community...hope.
