Big Hair and Books: Souls Set Free Giveaway

Unlike my other posts, this is not related to kidlit. I have a writing friend, Kimmie Easley, who has just published her debut novel, Souls Set Free. I am super proud for her and I'm hosting a giveaway in her honor!

A bit about Kimmie:

Kimmie grew up traveling the country, rarely settling in one place for much longer than a minute. Being no stranger to heartache, she allows her unconventional childhood to fuel her writing.

Kimmie serves as secretary to the East Texas Writers Association. She is a 2012 NaNoWriMo winner.

Kimmie is addicted to cupcakes, books, chocolate, and flip flops. She is a homeschool momma, southern wife, and pug wrangler.

She lives by the motto, when life gives you lemons ~ write about 'em!

Emma has a life most people would love to trade for: a beautiful home on the beach, a loving husband, two wonderful daughters. But most nights, she goes to bed hoping to not wake up the next morning. Pills and alcohol are the only ways she can cope with a childhood filled with abuse, ending the day she left at fifteen after her mother held her at gunpoint.

Now, the woman who caused her so much pain is dead.

Emma returns to her childhood home and finds her mother's journal. As she reads, her anger slowly begins to melt away as the years of abuse finally begin to make sense...
