Todayβs book giveaway is for the inspirational historical fiction book Through the Deep Waters by Kim Vogel Sawyer.
Synopsis from the back of the book:
Born to an unloving prostitute in a popular Chicago brothel, timid seventeen-year-old Dinah Hubley was raised amid the secrets held in every dark grimy room of her home. Anxious to escape, Dinah pursues her dream of becoming a Harvey Girl, waiting tables along the railroad in an upscale hotel. But when she finds out she isn’t old enough, her only option is to accept a job as a chambermaid at the Clifton Hotel in Florence, Kansas. Eager to put everything behind her, Dinah feels more worthless than ever, based on a single horrible decision she made to survive.
The Clifton offers a life Dinah has never known, but blinded to the love around her, Dinah remains buried in the shame of her past. when a handsome chicken farmer named Amos Ackerman starts to show interest, Dinah withdraws further, convinced no one could want a sullied woman like her. Despite his self-consciousness about his physical disability and her strange behavior, Amos resolves to show Dinah Christ’s love. But can she ever accept the gift she so desperately needs?

If I’m in my comfort zone, I’m much more outgoing. But, if I’m outside of it I’m more reserved-I wouldn’t necessarily say I’m shy, just not overly outgoing.
Thanks for sharing Jordann. π
As a little girl I was painfully shy. I would hide under the kitchen table anytime company would come. I’ve outgrown it gradually over the years as I’ve gotten older.
Thanks for sharing Gail. π
I am a mixture of both!
Interesting. Thanks for sharing Shelia. π
I am a totally shy person. Usually I wait for someone else to speak first.
Thanks for sharing Merry. π
I am shy until I get to know a person. I am much better at being outgoing than I was as a child–I think this is due to gaining self-confidence and feeling good about who I am.
Thanks for sharing Danielle. π
. It takes me a while to get to know someone because I have to know, if I can trust them or not. I was shy growing up but I have become somewhat outgoing—it depends on the situation. I tend to stick to myself sometines
Thanks for sharing Patricia. π
I’m shy until I get a person and if I’m in a situation where I don’t know many people.
Thanks for sharing Dianne. π
I’m shy and introverted most of the time. If I know a person and feel comfortable with them, I can be more outgoing. I’m usually pretty reserved. I don’t like to be in the spotlight.
Thanks for sharing Winnie. π
I am a shy person . I guess that’s one of the reasons I like to read so much!
I can relate Deanne. Thanks for sharing. π
I am initially shy, but more out-going once I get to know people. Thank for the opportunity of this giveaway!
You’re welcome Alison. Thanks for sharing. π
I am definitely shy.
Thanks for sharing Jan. π
I’m naturally very shy, but in order to work with the public and bond with co-workers, I’ve learned to make myself be more outgoing.
Life has a way of pushing us out of our comfort zones, doesn’t it Connie. Thanks for sharing. π
Depends on the situation. With family & friends, I’m very gregarious and outgoing but with people I don’t know, I tend to be more reserved. Being around too many people for a long period of time makes me want to crawl back in my shell and hide, it’s stressful….lol! If that makes any sense.
Thank you for the chance to win a copy of Kim’s book “Through the Deep Waters”. I love her writing and this book sounds wonderful, especially the Harvey girl aspect π One of my favorite topics in a historical!
I completely relate to getting stressed over the work involved in being outgoing Trixi. Thanks for sharing. π
I am very outgoing and seem to be able to talk to anyone. My hubby is very shy so we make a great team. He tells me he doesn’t need to talk, cause I do enough for both of us.
I love that Deana. My husband offsets me too. Thanks for sharing. π
I’m on the shy side.
Thanks for sharing MomIsReading. π
Sort of on the shy side…
