Join the Journey – Request an Early Review Copy of A Widow’s Awakening before June 30th

 

“The experience of reading this book is nothing less than a journey. One woman’s journey from the death of her husband, through the search for some meaning, and finally to a level of acceptance. I’m sure there isn’t one among us who hasn’t been on the same search at one point in our lives and can relate to her story. I hesitate to use the term “story”, because it doesn’t do it justice. With this being a true event, it has much more meaning than a work of fiction. I really enjoyed this book and could relate to her struggle.”

Request Your Early Review Copy by June 30th, 2018

If you’re interested in reading A Widow’s Awakening by Maryanne Pope before it’s official release by BHC Press on Sept 13th, check out the LibraryThing Early Reviewers Program.

If you follow that link, on the right hand side of the page is a link to sign up as a LibraryThing member. Then you can request a free copy to read and review. You may not receive a copy, as only 50 books will given away in this June promotion – but it’s worth a shot.

The publisher (BHC Press) did the first round of the Early Reviewers Program in April – and the reviews from that round are starting to come in. And they’re…GREAT! Here’s another one:

“I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Although the title may lead you into thinking it was going to be somewhat depressing this wasn’t the case. The author shared her pain, memories, (sometimes) weird and random thoughts on death and what comes after. Really well written, not boring, sometimes sad enough to bring tears to my eyes but on the whole an enjoyable read.”

About A Widow’s Awakening…

Do you believe in soul mates? What if the death of your soul mate meant the birth of your life-long dream?

A Widow’s Awakening is a fictional account based on the true story of a young woman’s struggle to come to terms with the death of her police officer husband who died while investigating a break and enter complaint.

Engaging, powerful, heart-wrenching, and at times humorous, this honest look at the first year of a widow’s grief captures the immense difficulty of learning how to accept the unacceptable while transforming loss into positive change – and is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
