Todayβs book giveaway is for historical inspirational fiction book, Bees in the Butterfly Garden by Maureen Lang.Β You can check out my review for this book here (Bees in the Butterfly Garden book review).
Where can I learn more about this author and their books?
Something I found interesting about this story was that one of the characters always wore something red to remind her of God’s sacrifice for her sins. It reminded me of a necklace that I hold dear. When my mom passed away, my grandmother gave me a pendant with my mom’s picture engraved on it. I wore that pendant every day until the clasp on the necklace broke and I had to put it away until it could be replaced or repaired. Every day when I would put it on, I was reminded of my mom and every time someone would comment on it, I was also reminded of her. What a wonderful gift that reminder was to me.
Do you have something tangible that reminds you of a loved one?
