Summer's here and what better way to kick it off than with a blog tour for Awakening Avery by Laurie Lewis. Awakening Averyis the perfect poolside read. Or, if you're like me and don't happen to have a pool, it's a good curling-up-in-bed read.
Avery can't cope with the death of her husband and is finally convinced by
her son to return to the family's Anna Maria Island vacation spot. With the
help from some new-found friends, Avery swaps her house with a widower
named Gabriel. As Avery and Gabriel step into each others lives, they begin
a correspondence that leads to spiritual and emotional awakening for each
of them.
We're giving away 3 fabulous prizes. Two readers will win their own copy of Awakening Avery! Yeah. There will be one lucky grand prize winner who will the beautiful necklace below. The contest opens June 2 and will close June 13 at midnight MST.

So, now you're wondering, what did Tristi think of this novel?
I appreciated it a lot. It has a literary style to it that I find refreshing - we don't often see literary writing in this market, and I think this book was a good representation of how to write a literary novel that uses words to create pictures and yet isn't so literary that it loses the reader.
I hope you'll play along, visit all the blogs, and basically just knock yourself out to get this necklace. It's gorgeous!!

I blogged and twitted. It's next on my list to read.
Tristi, you're amazing to do this after the month you've had. My best to you and your family, and thanks for your support. You're a doll!
Lovely contest! Love the necklace and I am excited about the book! Good luck to all!
