"Unbroken" Book Giveaway- Sign up now!
Anne, with Author's On the Web, sent me another book for review. This book, Unbroken, is by Tracey Elliott, Mrs. Texas 2006.Unbroken shares details of Tracey Elliot's troubled childhood. Orphaned at the age of 6, she was sent to live with her grandmother and her grown, unemployed alcoholic uncles.
The story tells of the abuse she suffered at the hands of her uncles, and her spiral into alcohol, drugs, and eventually stripping.
Without sharing all the details, the book tells of how her life was put back together by the power and redemption of God and the love of her husband and children. It also shares interesting details of her month spent in rehab before she went on to win the title of Mrs. Texas in 2006.
To be honest, I though this book was "okay." It wasn't bad, but it wasn't phenomenal either (you know, the kind of book you just can't put down). Perhaps I feel this way because I couldn't relate to much of what Tracey had experienced. I just couldn't empathize enough. Perhaps you might find this book more compelling!
The cover price of this book is $22.99. Amazon is selling it for the discounted price of $17.93.
Anne was kind enough to send me two additional copies of each book to offer as giveaways to my readers! Thanks, Anne!

If I'm fortunate enough to win, I'll get back with you and tell you what I think of the book. I love to read, so bring it on!
I don't have a URL, so can't leave one, so I guess I have to be anonymous. Since I am not a blogger, your note says to e-mail you, but I can't find your e-mail address. Help!
Oh good another book give-away! I'm in - I'll get my post up on my blog soon!
Love your Cracking the Kid Code post. Sometimes, I can't understand my 1-year old. He gets frustrated so he calls me a "dodo."
My 4-year old is different.
"Mommy," he one time asked my wife. "Do you know what melan moposis is?"
"A what?" my wife said.
"Melan moposis."
"What's that?"
"Daddy taught me that word," my 4-year old said. "It means a caterpillar becomes a butterfly."
A proud moment for me.
