GIVEAWAY: 5 copies of Jantsen’s Gift by Pam Cope, Aimee Molloy

May 1, 2009 by Darlene

Hi everyone, I have 5 copies of Jantsen’s Gift by Pam Cope and Aimee Molloy up for grabs courtesy of Anna with the Hachette Book Group. I haven’t had a chance to read it although there is a copy sitting in my tbr pile. Here’s a bit about the book from Hachette…

  • Nine years ago, Pam Cope owned a cozy hair salon in the tiny town of Neosho, Missouri, and her life revolved around her son’s baseball games, her daughter’s dance lessons, and family trips to places like Disney World. She had never been out of the country, nor had she any desire to travel far from home.Then, on June 16th, 1999, her life changed forever with the death of her 15-year-old son from an undiagnosed heart ailment. Needing to get as far away as possible from everything that reminded her of her loss, she accepted a friend’s invitation to travel to Vietnam, and, from the moment she stepped off the plane, everything she had been feeling since her son’s death began to shift. By the time she returned home, she had a new mission: to use her pain to change the world, one small step at a time, one child at a time. Today, she is the mother of two children adopted from Vietnam. More than that, she and her husband have created a foundation called “Touch A Life,” dedicated to helping desperate children in countries as far-flung as Vietnam, Cambodia and Ghana.Pam Cope’s story is on one level a moving, personal account of loss and recovery, but on a deeper level, it offers inspiration to anyone who has ever suffered great personal tragedy or those of us who dream about making a difference in the world.

What do you have to do to enter…

  • Leave me a comment and an email address for one entry.
  • Follow my blog for two entries (it counts if you’re already a follower).
  • Blog or tweet about this giveaway to spread the word for three entries.

Last but not least, this giveaway is open only to US and Canadian residents (no PO boxes). The publisher will be shipping the winners their books directly. I will draw for the winners on Sunday, May 17, 2009.

Good luck everyone! And be sure to check out my other giveaways on both sidebars!
