Women's Fiction Contemporary
Through a largely hidden ceremony . . . four friends discover the true meaning
of life
It's 2006 in a seaside village in Israel, where a war is brewing. Lauren, Emily,
Aviva and Rachel, four memorable women from different backgrounds, are drawn to
the village. Lauren, a maternity nurse, loves her Israeli doctor husband but
struggles to make a home for herself in a foreign land thousands of miles away
from her beloved Boston. Seeking a fresh start after a divorce, her vivacious
friend Emily follows. Strong, sensuous Aviva, brought to Israel years earlier by
intelligence work, has raised a family and now lost a son. And Rachel, a
beautiful, idealistic college graduate from Wyoming, arrives with her hopeful
dreams.
The women forge a friendship that sustains them as they come to terms with love
and loss, and the outbreak of war. Their intimate bond is strengthened by their
participation in a traditional ritual that closes the circle of life. As their
lives are slowly transformed, each finds unexpected strength and resilience.
Brimming with wisdom, rich in meaningful insights, A Remarkable Kindness is a
moving testament to women's friendship, illuminating a mostly unknown ritual that
underscores what it means to truly be alive.

Re: A Remarkable Kindness
Love the cover of your book. I have it added to my TBR list,
thanks for the opportunity.

I'm looking forward to reading your book!! I could feel the
passion you have for your writing, just by reading your
posting. If that's even a small indication of what's to
come between the pages of your book, I know that I'm in for
quite an experience!! One of my favorite love stories is
called Roses by Leila Meacham. It's a love story that takes
place throughout the lives of not only the Matriarch of the
story, but of the man she loves. The book is quite long at
about 500 pages, but once you start reading it, it's one of
those books you won't be able to put down. I finished it in
one sitting, and pulled an all-nighter, just to find out the
ending!!

Slowly falling is love plays well most of the time. But all of them are fun.

The theme grabs your attention. I look forward to an
enjoyable and inspiring read.

I would love to win and read .
(Kathy Church 7:29pm August 26, 2015)
I love them all and like mixing it up to keep it fresh and
always feeling like I'm reading something new.
(Maria Smith 8:45pm August 26, 2015)
Enjoy reading stories that pit people against their
surroundings. Israel is one of my favorite places to visit,
and I'd love to join these women in their journey.

Slowly falling in love with a few obstacles in the way
makes for an excellent story.

ROMEO AND JULIET
(Debbi Shaw 11:19pm August 26, 2015)
I love a good love-at-first-sight story. Then the people have to justify their feelings & figure out why they feel that way. So much fun.
(Kristine Murphy 9:28am August 27, 2015)
My favorite love story is a combination of the love-at-first-sight and the slowly falling into love with obstacles scenario. What I mean by that is the story where characters fall in love instantly because of an event (often in their childhood) and harbor fantasies about that person and eventually are able to get together after time, other relationships and a series of events bring them back together. I love the idea that someone loves that constantly regardless of time and life events.
(Flora Presley 7:07pm August 27, 2015)
This is on a personal note,but I think you must be a very
strong woman to attempt that trip to Alaska on a motorcycle.
Can't wait to read your book.
(Mary Burt 7:54pm August 27, 2015)
My favorite is enemies to true loves.
(Mary McCoy 9:11pm August 27, 2015)
My favorite is when people who were friends but parted meet
again and fall in love.
(Diana Thomas 10:44pm August 27, 2015)
What a beautiful cover! I just love the sea. I'd love to read this book.
(Connie Williamson 12:35pm August 28, 2015)
I love all the romances but my favorite would have to be the ones where they are fighting off this deep love and passion they have for each other . The 'forbidden love' makes an exciting story . Thanks for this giveaway.
(Joan Thrasher 12:33pm August 28, 2015)
I like the slower developing romances. I think love at first sight is not realistic. You can certainly be attracted to someone at first sight but to love them you need to know who they are.
(Mary Songer 4:08pm August 28, 2015)
It depends upon the story. It doesn't matter as long as I feel like I'm with them when it happens.
(Anna Speed 1:02pm August 29, 2015)
Love at first sight!
(Denise Austin 1:43pm August 29, 2015)
I love it when a character has feelings for both men and women. It makes the book real.
