Books I’m Grateful I Read Giveaway Hop

Thank you to Stuck in Books for hosting this giveaway.

I’m featuring Finding Eliza by Stephanie Pitcher Fishman.

Finding Eliza

 

My review

5 Stars – You need to read this!

Finding Eliza is a rare treat and a breath of fresh air. It grabbed me from the very beginning and didn’t let go, as I spent a few late nights reading past my bed time. Stephanie Pitcher Fishman has a delightful writing style draws the reader right in. I’m definitely looking forward to reading more from her!

In the beginning, we meet Lizzie who is dealing with the anniversary of her parents’ death. Her grandma Tru lovingly pushes her to join a genealogy meeting. What could go wrong?

Lizzie ends up discovering a secret family diary about the life of her aunt Eliza, who Lizzie was named after, but never even knew existed. She delves in and learns why Eliza’s life has been kept a secret all of this time. As she goes through the diary, she learns not only history lessons, but also how to let go of the “demons” holding onto her.

Finding Eliza deals with some tough but real issues, and I found it to be eye opening about the time of history that we find ourselves in while reading the diary along with Lizzie. I can’t recommend it enough. You’ll laugh and you’ll cry along with Lizzie.

    I am grateful I read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

    What book are you grateful you read? I am grateful to have read a lot of books but the series that comes to the top of my mind is Knights of Black Swan series by Victoria Danann.

    Josh Sundquist’s Just Don’t Fall, about how he developed cancer as a kid, had a leg amputated, and went on to compete for the US Paralympic team in skiing. Really great guy who vlogs on YouTube.

    I honestly can’t pick just one book. There are so many people out there who can’t read for one reasone or another,& I am so grateful that I can read. Every book I read is a treasure in it’s own way, even the ones that i’m not so crazy about.
