Giveaway Hop Celebrating Children's Book Week!!!


http://www.wishfulendings.com


I absolutely love children's books! I have a collection that rivals a used bookstore... and not enough shelves in my girls' room to have them all out at once, so we rotate :) This week I'm giving away new copies of two of my childhood favorites- the "Little Critter" books Just For You and Just Me and My Dad by Mercer Mayer (they are hilarious!) Be sure to check out the other giveaways from blogs participating in the hop! Special thanks to Tressa from Wishful Endings for hosting!

Synopsis

Though she had planned to spend the summer in Vermont, Abigail Harding cannot dismiss her concerns over her older sister. Charlotte's letters have been uncharacteristically melancholy, and her claims that nothing is wrong ring false, so Abigail heads west to Fort Laramie, Wyoming. When her stagecoach is attacked, Wyoming promises to be anything but boring. Luckily, the heroics of another passenger, Lieutenant Ethan Bowles, save the day.

Abigail plans to marry when she returns to Vermont, just as soon as she attends to her sister. As the summer passes, she finds herself drawn to this rugged land and to a certain soldier determined to persuade her to stay. When summer ends, will she go back East, or will she find her heart's true home?
