BBAW - Giveaway #4


Today's giveaway is Sweetwater Run by Jan Watson

Darcy Whitt and her sister-in-law, Cara Whitt stand at a crossroads. Living in the Troublsome Creek area in the mountains of easten Kentucky is not an easy place for any young woman in 1893. These two good friends, mentored by Copper Brown, could be no more different from each other than an oak tree is from a willow.

Cara Whitt finds herself newly married and living in a rickety cabin on the backside of nowhere. That first summer, she and her husband Dimmert, cleared a two-mile long trail between their cabin and Ace and Dance Skelton's home, but Dance isn't always in her right mind and frequently needs Cara's help in caring for the growing Skelton brood. When Dimmert is arrested and hauled off to prison for stealing his own mule, Cara is left alone, afraid and in charge of their little farm.

Darcy Mae Whitt can take a dress-length of gingham and stitch into a beautiful creation that most town ladies would vie to own. But her dreams extend beyond Troublesome Creek. When Henry Thomas, the local attorney sets his cap for Darcy..and the Whitt family land, starry-eyed and determined Darcy has no idea what kind of trouble lies ahead.

This is a new, soft-cover christian fiction book.

My grandma had a heart attack last week and ended up in the hospital for several days. She's always been one of my very favorite people and I always wished I could have known her when she was young. If I could go back anytime, it would be to the time when she and my grandfather were young and eloped together, even if I could just be a fly on the wall to see them together.

The book looks great. Thanks for sharing it.

hmmm, if I could go back in time I would go, just for one day mind you, I don't want to stay there forever. lol. But I would go back in the day when the streets were dirt and the woman wore the beautiful long flowing dresses with the beautiful hats. I would want to be someone who was rich though so that I could live in a nice house. I think it would be great to go back just for a day to see how they lived. (I have never thought this threw, can you tell? lol)

That's a hard question. I wouldn't mind going back to my childhood so I can remember what it's like to be carefree and reckless. LOL

Thanks for the great giveaway.

I would probably go back in time to the late 1800's and be a pioneer woman however it would be hard to give up hot showers and washing machines, maybe.

If I could go back in time, I would go back to when my mother was alive in the late 70's. I was very happy then. Maybe we could have another tickling contest or maybe go butterfly hunting again. Maybe she could just hug me and tell me how special I was to her. I miss her so much! :)

Oh, that is a hard question for me! I am not sure, possibly back to pioneer times, something about working the land and living a slower paced life appeals to me.

If I could go back in time I'd go back to spend some time with my grandmother who I miss dearly.

If I was going to choose something older then that -- then the Victorian era :-)

I've always been drawn to the late 1800s. Think Little House on the Prairie. Just man against the land, families tightly woven, a sense of community.

Thanks for the giveaway!
