This week for Freebie Friday, you have a chance to win, "The Lake of Dreams," a novel by Kim Edwards, who also wrote the best-seller, "The Memory Keeper's Daughter." Here's how she describes the new book: Set in the beautiful Finger Lakes area of upstate New York, this novel is the story of Lucy Jarrett and her discovery of a hidden past, glimpsed first through fragments of old letters and traces left in stained glass windows. Lucy's quest through the artifacts of history brings her face to face with the dynamics she fled the summer after her father drowned; it compels her to make an inward journey, too, one that will alter her understanding of herself and change the course of her life.
As for last week's contest, Joann is the winner of Diane Rehm's memoir, "Life with Maxie." Congratulations to Joann, who said her favorite animal-themed book is "Watership Down" by Richard Adams, and noted that Sawyer (her dog? cat? rabbit?) votes for it too. As soon as I get back from a short Christmas bereak, I'll send it out.
