This week’s book giveaway is for the inspirational historical romance book A Home for My Heart by Anne Mateer.
What is this book about?
Sadie Sillsby works as the assistant to the matron at the Raystown Home for Orphan and Friendless Children, pouring all her energy into caring for the boys and girls who live there and dreaming of the day she’ll marry her beau, Blaine, and have children of her own. But when the matron surprises everyone by announcing her own engagement, Sadie is suddenly next in line for the esteemed job of running the orphanage.
There’s one glitch. The matron cannot be married. She must focus her attention on the financial, legal, and logistical matters of the Home. Sadie’s heart is torn. Should she give up her plans for a life with Blaine in order to continue serving these children who have no one else? Does she, a young woman who was once an orphan herself, have what it takes to succeed in such a challenging career? And when the future of the Home begins to look bleak, can Sadie turn things around before the place is forced to close forever?

It’s kind of weird, but the smell of my grandma. She smelled like coffee and White Shoulders perfume. She crocheted, and now when I crochet, I feel like I can smell her.
Thanks for sharing Connie. 🙂
A favorite smell I had as a child is terrible! When my dad pulled up to fill the car with gas, I’d lean out the window and breathe deeply! When he finally caught me, I was in trouble and stopped. I’m sure glad.
LOL Thanks for commenting Sally. 🙂
My grandma used to make a crockpot of chili anytime I visited. I’d walk in the door and smell it, knowing she made it for me!
