I read. I read so much, I don’t even like to talk about how much I read. If I need to get something done around the house, I better not be in the middle of a book, that’s all I can say. So, being between books (which means I’m in the middle of two and finished another) I happened to catch Ree’s post, P-Dub Book Club. Immediately, I bought the book she recommended, Comeback (hey, Ree, you sold a book!) by Claire and Mia Fontaine, a gut-wrenching mother-daughter memoir about abuse (all kinds) and recovery.

Since I’m a rock star super special Amazon customer, I got it the next day (free shipping) and knocked it out shortly thereafter. It was good: thought-provoking and interesting, albeit a tad depressing. I offered it to a friend, but she declined, noting the drama in her real life was enough. This book might be too much for some.

It is not a book I’m going to read again. This much I know. So I’m offering it for FREE to the first person who writes a compelling enough comment sharing why they think they should have it.  I make the rules, so I get to decide who wins. This offer will end on Saturday, Sept. 15, so I’ll be making my decision this time next week. If you are the chosen one, I’ll expect an address where I can ship it. That’s all; nothing else. Oh, maybe some gratitude. That’d be nice.

Side note: are you following Confessions of a Pioneer Woman? Or The Pioneer Woman Cooks? I heard Ree speak at blogher07 and was charmed. CHARMED, I tell you! Her photographs are beautiful and she’s a funny, refreshing writer. Go there – come back — but go there, and I think you’ll find you love her as much as I do.
