Sandi C. (a reader from NY) won Return to Virgin River by New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr. Publishers Weekly raves about the novel saying, “Carr nails the sometimes-painful process of writing, painting Kaylee’s work as one of the toughest and most rewarding of pursuits, while skillfully building passion between her hero and heroine. Longtime fans will relish glimpses of past favorite characters, who add depth and joy to this sweet romance.” Netflix’s adaptation of Robyn’s Virgin River series debuted in 2019 and is one of the streaming service’s most popular shows.
Picture
Camille H. (a reader from NY) won Secrets from a Happy Marriage by New York Times bestselling author Maisey Yates. As long-held secrets bubble up and their old lives unravel, this family will need all their strength to start again and open their hearts up to the possibility of more. But most of all, they’ll need each other.

Picture
Monica L. (a reader from NY) won The Positive Mindset Journal by Camille Hoheb. A daily journaling practice can help you see the best in others, yourself and your world during challenging situations. This journal provides a guided self-discovery journey with thought-provoking prompts and creative exercises to help see your life in a positive light. 
Picture
Ann J. (a reader from NY) won The Sea Glass Cottage by New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne. This novel tells the story of an emotional homecoming that brings hope and healing to three generations of women. RaeAnne's books have won numerous awards. "RaeAnne has a knack for capturing those emotions that come from the heart." (RT Book Reviews).

Picture
Laura S. (a reader from NY) won Saving Sara by Sara Somers. This memoir chronicles Sara's food addiction from childhood to adulthood. As her addiction progresses in young adulthood, she becomes isolated, masking her shame and self-hatred with drugs and alcohol. Decades later, she finally finds her way. Her story lends hope to those who are currently in the throws of addiction.
Picture
Leslie W. (a reader from NY) won A Fierce Belief in Miracles by Anne Reeder Heck. The memoir recounts Anne's experience who, at age 26, was brutally raped after a man stopped her during a bike ride to ask for directions. Her book offers both guidance and solace for those seeking healing and for those ready to explore paths of forgiveness and spirituality. This inspiring story allows the reader to witness the beauty that emerges from darkness, the goodness that is born of ill-guided acts, and the perfection of all that transpires on this path we call life.

Picture
Patricia O. (a reader from KS) won This is Your Brain on Food by Uma Naidoo, M.D., a board-certified psychiatrist, nutrition specialist, and professionally trained chef. When it comes to diet, most people's concerns involve weight loss, fitness, cardiac health, and longevity. But what we eat also affects our brains. And recent studies have shown that diet can have a profound impact on mental health conditions, including ADHD, depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, OCD, dementia and beyond. This book is packed with fascinating science, actionable nutritional recommendations, and delicious, brain-healthy recipes.
Picture
Joanna F. (a reader from NY) won DP: Displaced Person by award-winning writer Margarita Meyendorff. The daughter of a Russian Baron, Mourka (a.k.a. Margarita Meyendorff) was born in a Russian displaced persons camp in Germany – far from the opulence of Imperial Russia which was her birthright. Life then became a series of extraordinary moves. Margarita's journey is thrillingly personal yet universal - the journey we all take, to find our true selves and safe haven. Margarita's short stories have been published internationally.

Picture
Susan H. (a reader from NJ) won A Mother's Grace: Healing the World One Woman at a Time by Michelle Moore. Michelle chronicles the compelling stories of heroic women across the country who, despite personal trauma, found grace in difficult times and transformed their personal adversity into pay-it-forward wins by founding nonprofits that help and sustain others, mother to mother. Michelle is the founder of Mother's Grace, a nonprofit organization that addresses the critical needs of mothers and their children in the midst of tragic life events.
Picture
Laura S. (a reader from NY) won Eris Rising by Courtney Ramm. This memoir shows how it's possible to move forward after life-altering "mistakes" and how to recover the true "genius" within. New York Times bestselling author Natalia Rose writes, "Ramm reveals a personal story that could happen to any one of us. While packed with nonstop gripping, dramatic moments, Eris Rising is simultaneously ripe with humor. By the end of her fateful journey, Ramm transforms into a grade-A heroine you'll cheer for and admire!"
