Beauty on the Backroads

Stories of grace for life's unexpected turns

giveaway winner

We have a winner …

March 7, 2012

… and the winner of Cindy Woodsmall’s The Scent of Cherry Blossoms is Amanda Fassler.

Amanda said this about Amish fiction:

I think Cindy Woodsmall is a great author. I haven’t read any other Amish fiction, but I read Wodsmall’s Sisters of the Quilt series and the Ada’s House series. I also have “The Sound of Sleigh Bells”, but haven’t read it yet. My grandma told me the same thing you mentioned about some Amish books getting a little repetitive, but she borrowed the Woodsmall books from me and seemed to enjoy them also. I would be thrilled to win a copy of this book because I know I will eventually want to add it to my collection.

Congratulations, Amanda! Send me an e-mail or Facebook message with your address, and I’ll send the book your way!

Welcome

Hi. I’m Lisa, and I’m glad you’re here. If we were meeting in real life, I’d offer you something to eat or drink while we sat on the porch letting the conversation wander as it does. That’s a little bit what this space is like. We talk about books and family and travel and food and running, whatever I might encounter in world. I’m looking for the beauty in the midst of it all, even the tough stuff. (You’ll find a lot of that here, too.) Thanks for stopping by. Stay as long as you like.
