In So Many Words

Thanks to everyone who entered my book giveaway over the last week!

And now, the winners (chosen randomly):

The copy of Rex: A Mother, Her Autistic Child, and the Music that Transformed Their Lives is going to Meg from The Pages of Our Crazy Life.

Meg said, “I know I’m a complete sap, but I love the Chicken Soup… books. The one about Special Needs had me crying and cheering and hoping. Of course, I’ve read dozens of autism specific books, Temple Grandin’s are so wonderfully full of information and her mother’s book was an awesome look into the families perspective. Novel over, add me to your list!! I have A Friend Like Henry on hold at my library, but haven’t read it yet!”

And the copy of A Friend Like Henry goes to Beth Shepherd, who said, “I would love to win and read this book. The best inspirational book I have ever read was the Bible. Thank you!

I have emailed each of you and will send out your book as soon as I hear back with your mailing address.

Since I asked everyone who entered to tell me one of their favorite inspirational books, I thought it would be nice to list all the recommendations so everyone could see them:

Nanette – Love You Forever by Robert Munsch
