Blogoversary Giveaway #5



Blogoversary Giveaway #5, My Son John by Kathi Macias, thanks to Sheaf House. A Winner will be announced October 18th.

My Son John

Liz Peterson's mother is brutally murdered-and then her son is arrested for the crime, devastating their family to the point that Liz wonders if any of them will be left standing when it's all over. Can God's love and grace reach even to the deepest agony of the soul and bring, if not a meeting of the minds, a meeting of the hearts-and healing to a family torn apart by murder and betrayal?

    "My Son, John" has been on my wishlist for several weeks now. Probably not a comfortable read, but a moving one. Thanks for this giveaway, Margaret.

    The whole drama of murder; potential betrayal; did he do it; if he didn't, how will he deal with the stigma of a false accusation...

    I think this book sounds very interesting because even though things like this really happen, I don't know anyone who has experienced anything similar and I have no idea how I would react in such a situation. It seems like a moving novel.

    We read of situations like this very often. It is more common than one thinks. So the book promises to be an interesting read.
