Tray Dunaway longs to be part of the popular set at school, but she's growing too
fast and her clothes no longer fit. The only person who understands Tray's need for
acceptance is her grandmother, but when Tray wears Gram's hand-sewn clothes to
school, the kids make fun of her tall, boney appearance.
Tray's luck improves when Pee Wee Johnson, a down-and-out friend of her father's,
buys two lottery tickets and gives one to Mr. Dunaway as a thank-you for driving him
to Hazard, Illinois. When her father's ticket turns out to be the winner, Johnson
demands his cut of the proceeds, but Tray's dad refuses. What seems like a stroke of
good fortune suddenly becomes a disturbing turn of events as Johnson threatens to
cause problems for the family and Tray.

Many have done that for me, especially The Time in Between.

I think it's good that some of these touch some tough issues
because unfortunately life has a way of throwing things at you and
sometimes it can prepare you.

Lots of books have stayed with me , but the most recent was the "Chill Factor" by Sandra Brown . You had to keep reading , you had to see what happened in the next chapter . I love books like that , that you just don't want to put down . 'The Ticket' sounds like it will be a very good book also .Thank you for this giveaway .

Dark Places is the last book that I really thought about for a while.

A book I read recently that stayed with me due to disturbing and/or intriguing content was PATTY JANE'S HOUSE OF CURL by Lorna Landvik.

Fifty Shades of Grey is the books I can think of off hand.
(Christina Riggs 6:30am June 28, 2015)
Can't think of any at this time. Always looking for new authors.

In The Unlikely Event by Judy Blume because even though the
book is fiction the books main point are three airplanes that
crashed in Elizabeth NJ where many lost there life. As I read
the book I fell in love with each character only for death to
take them away.

Station Eleven haunts me months after reading.

A Choice for Claire by AJ Harmon
(Denise Austin 12:56pm June 29, 2015)
I honestly cannot think of a book that pushed the boundary for
me. But I'm always wanting to read a new author too. Hope I
win!

None as an adult. I'm always looking forward to reading another book. Gone With the Wind bothered me as a teenager. I kept trying to imagine a more satisfying ending. That was many, many years ago, which lets you know something about my age.

The Dinner by Hernan Koch made me think a lo long after I finished the book.
(Janice Milliken 1:44pm June 29, 2015)
I've never read your books before - I guess because I haven't seen them. This book sounds wonderful and I love a book with suspense or mystery.
I found one of my mother's books SUMMER PLACE. I was a teen in the early 60's. I read it during a summer school break. I still have the book and still reread it. At the time it was very out of the norm - especially for teens. Then I saw the movie with Troy Donahue. I read the book again.

I saw where I had won on List of Winners. Do you need any info from me? Looking forward to reading your book. Always enjoy reading a new author for me.
(Pat Moore 3:37pm August 10, 2015)
So happy to read all your comments, even if I am a year late! Many books that you mention were favorites of mine too--Patty Jane's House of Curl, Summer Place, The Dinner (very disturbing!) and, of course, Gone with the Wind! Pat Moore, please do send me your info if you haven't received my book yet. I wasn't sure if someone else was taking care of getting it to you or not--my email is [email protected].
Keep reading!!!
