Picture
Lisa Munz (a reader from NY) won The Summer that Made Us (MIRA Books), by New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr: This novel is a powerful multi-generational story about mothers and daughters, sisters and cousins, and the ties that bind us together forever.  Everyone has a summer they’ll never forget, and for the women of the Hempstead family, this has never been more viscerally true. USA Today writes, “Appealing characters and a fresh and heart-tugging twist to a familiar conflict..."

Picture
Michele Liguori (a reader from NY) won Ignore It! by Catherine Pearlman, Ph.D., LCSW: This guide teaches parents to selectively ignore bad behaviors so kids actually learn from their mistakes. Readers will learn how to eliminate problem behaviors, how to use time-outs effectively, how to create a reward system that actually works, and how to work out discipline when Mom and Dad are not on the same page. Pearlman is the founder of The Family Coach.
Picture
Linda Crate (a reader from PA) won Ultimatum, by K. M. Walton: This YA novel is a gripping and emotional story of two brothers who must come face-to-face with their demons - and each other - if they are going to survive a very uncertain future. They must make the ultimate decision about what's more important: family or their differences. Publisher’s Weekly describes the story as “a heart-wrenching portrait of a dysfunctional family and its destructive force.”

Picture
Joanne Rose (a reader from NY) won Beneath a Scarlet Skye, by bestselling author Mark Sullivan. This novel is based on the true story of a forgotten hero who saved countless lives during WWII. Mark spent time with Pino Lella over a ten year period as he listened to him recall his past. This story is one of courage, love and redemption. Update: Soon to be a major motion picture from Pascal Pictures, starring Tom Holland.
Picture
Maureen Decker (a reader from CT) won The Happiness Diet, by bestselling author and mental health advocate Rachel Kelly. Since suffering from her last serious bout of depression, Kelly has developed a broad holistic approach to staying healthy and happy, and the heart of her recovery process involves a crucial shift in diet. Kelly and nutritionist Alice Mackintosh have drawn from more than 100 scientific studies to identify the foods that either drag us down or lift us up.

Picture
Missy Ballard (a reader from CT) won Three Green Rats, by Linda Mason Hunter. This award-winning book teaches children to be eco-friendly. John Adams, Founding Director of Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), wrote, “With simplicity and charm, they tell how three green rats lead their hometown away from greed for too much stuff to the fullness of a simple life that respects the earth.” (For ages 7 to 11 and precocious adults)
Picture
Lea Bishop (a reader from NY) won Something Like Happy, by Eva Woods. Eva was inspired to write Something Like Happy after surviving her own brush with cancer and the breakdown of her marriage. It is an emotional novel that asks the question, "What would you do if you only had 100 days to live?" The Guardian says this novel is "Page-turning."

Picture
Popper Jones (a reader from NY) won The Christmas Umbrella, by Maureen Hogan Lutz.  This novella is set against the backdrop of World War II when a young bride embarks on a cross country train trip
to reunite with her soldier husband for Christmas. A memorable story based on real life events.


Picture
Cheryl Thorson (a reader from FL) won Fiddling at Midnights Farmhouse, by Clyde Kessler. This is his latest book of poems, which was illustrated by his wife, Kendall Kessler, Sanctuary’s September 2016 featured artist. His poems have also been published in numerous magazines and journals.
