GIVEAWAY: win a copy of A PIECE OF MY HEART

bookbubgoodreadsfacebookamazontwitter

Have you ever been to Blessings, Georgia? You should take a trip there someday.
There aren’t any tourist destinations, but there is a feeling within that sleepy
Southern town unlike any place I’ve ever been.

Every time I begin a new story, I get to revisit the residents, some of whom are
aggravating, and some who will melt your heart upon introduction. But they all
have one thing in common. When someone is in need, they come together without
judgment, giving of themselves and their time, sharing joy and grief.

I wish I lived there. Every time I finish a story, I feel lost…like I moved away
from my own special Eden. Everyone should live in a place like this at least
once in their lives, if for no other reason than to be reminded of the good in
the world, and what love for your fellow man really means.

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS was the novella that introduced my readers to this place and the people who live there. Each story is a stand-alone book, but with continuing characters that pop in and out of ensuing episodes of life in Blessings. The latest saga to come out of Blessings is a story called A PIECE OF MY HEART. I know I left a piece of my heart behind when it was over.

Whether you start at the first, or in the middle, or with the newest, it won’t
really matter. All the stories stand alone, without the need to read in
sequence. You don’t have to start at the beginning…but you really, really,
REALLY should start somewhere. Why not with this one?

Begin the journey with A PIECE OF MY HEART.

But mark the road so you will be able to find your way back, because you’ll miss
it, and you’ll miss them.

If I ever disappear, someone check the highways and byways of Georgia, because
that’s where I’ll be.

It’s not on a map, but it’s for certain somewhere between Savannah and heaven.
Of that I am certain.

What town or city or place has a piece of your heart? Tell us below and you may be the winner of A PIECE OF MY HEART

A PIECE OF MY HEART by Sharon Sala

Blessings, Georgia #4

A Piece
of My Heart

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sharon Sala writes dreams come true in her newest contemporary romance

She's never had a home

Growing up in a troubled foster home, Mercy Dane knew she could never rely on anyone but herself. She's used to giving her all to people who don't give her a second glance, so when she races to Blessings, Georgia, to save the life of an accident victim, she's flabbergasted when the grateful town opens its arms to her. She never dreamed she'd ever find family or friends-or a man who looks at her as if she hung the stars.

Until she finds peace in his arms

Police Chief Lon Pittman is getting restless living in sleepy little Blessings. But the day Mercy Dane roars into his life on the back of a motorcycle, practically daring him to pull her over, he's lost. There's something about Mercy's tough-yet-vulnerable spirit that calls to Lon, and he will do anything in his power to make her realize that home isn't just where the heart is-home is where their heart is.

Severna Park in Maryland was where I spent most of my childhood
summers. It was the only place where I got to spend quality time with my
dad.

This sounds like such a lovely story. Last year I visited Scotland, and I fell in love with the place.

Surf city n.c. Growing up as a child we would go to this beach and my dad
would take me fishing at barnacle bills pier, a guy that hung out there would
talk to us a lot and we became friends. He had been keeping a yellow
artificial rose there so the next time I came he gave it to me I was 14, his
name was Harold that was the first flower I got. My husband was also
taking there as a child and we ended up buying a home there.

The farm where I was reared as a child has always been a magic place in my memories. Loving parents, catching crawfish in the shallow part of a creek, picking wild flowers, riding a horse, playing with my brother at among my favorite childhood memories.
(Anna Speed 12:38pm May 9, 2017)

Spring Lake, NJ has a special place in my heart, because my
husband, Rich & I went there on our honeymoon almost 10
years ago. Italy also has a place there, since both sets
of my grandparents, as well as my Dad, were born there.
Whenever I visit, I feel as though I'm back home!
