This week’s book giveaway is for the inspirational historical fiction book Almost Home by Valerie Fraser Luesse.
What is this book about?
With America’s entrance into the Second World War, the town of Blackberry Springs, Alabama, has exploded virtually overnight. Workers from all over are coming south for jobs in Uncle Sam’s munitions plants–and they’re bringing their pasts with them, right into Dolly Chandler’s grand but fading family home turned boardinghouse.
An estranged young couple from the Midwest, unemployed professors from Chicago, a widower from Mississippi, a shattered young veteran struggling to heal from the war–they’re all hoping Dolly’s house will help them find their way back to the lives they left behind. But the house has a past of its own.
When tragedy strikes, Dolly’s only hope will be the circle of friends under her roof and their ability to discover the truth about what happened to a young bride who lived there a century before.

I’m hoping to find a job as a seamstress. I help Dolly by finding a box of letters buried in the yard. My dog was digging in the garden and that’s where we found them.
Loraine
Now that is very interesting Christy. I’m curious about what the letters say. 🙂 Thanks for commenting.
Deana Dick
I hope to find a job at a library while helping Dolly with chores around the boardinghouse. Also show Dolly that people love her and when she needs help her friends are there for her.

Oh that is so sweet to show Dolly some love. I also love the idea of working at a library. Thanks for commenting, Deana. 🙂
