GIVEAWAY: 5 copies of Girls in Trucks by Katie Crouch

by

Hey you all, I’ve got 5 copies up for grabs of Girls in Trucks by Katie Crouch courtesy of Valerie over at Hachette Book Group. I haven’t had the pleasure of reading it yet but hope to soon. Isn’t the cover just beautiful. Here’s a description from Hachette…

Sarah Walters, the narrator of GIRLS IN TRUCKS, is a reluctant Camellia Society debutante. She has always felt ill-fitted to the rococo ways of Southern womanhood and family, and is anxious to shake the bonds of her youth. Still, she follows the traditional path laid out for her. This is Charleston, and in this beautiful, dark, segregated town, established rules and manners mean everything.

But as Sarah grows older, she finds that her Camellia lessons fail her, particularly as she goes to college, moves North, and navigates love and life in New York. There, Sarah and her group of displaced deb sisters try to define themselves within the realities of modern life. Heartbreak, addiction, disappointing jobs and death fail to live up to the hazy, happy future promised to them by their Camellia mothers and sisters.

When some unexpected bumps in the road–an unplanned birth, a family death–lead Sarah back home, she’s forced to take another long look at the fading empire of her youth. It takes a strange turn of events to finally ground Sarah enough to make some serious choices. And only then does she realize that as much as she tried to deny it, where she comes from will always affect where she ends up. The motto of her girlhood cotillion society, “Once a Camellia, always a Camellia,” may turn out to have more wisdom and pull to it than she ever could have guessed.

Take a look at the video. It’s really great…

Wanna win? Here’s the two rules…leave me a comment and leave me an email address to get in touch with you. No email, no entry. Giveaway is only open to US and Canadian residents (no PO boxes). I will draw for the winners on April 26.

Good luck!
