One winner is eligible to win a signed paperback copy of Rock Bottom Rising And
Poinsettia Girl.
Rock Bottom Rising information: Ruby has nothing left—no money, no friends, and
a devastating felony conviction for larceny that follows her like a shadow. Cast
out and betrayed, she makes the bravest choice of her life: to fight her way
back to the children she loves, no matter the cost.
Against the sweeping backdrop of the Great Depression, World War II, the
Tennessee Valley Authority, and the Manhattan Project, Ruby’s journey unfolds as
a powerful portrait of grit, sacrifice, and redemption. Based on the true story
of the author’s grandmother, this biographical historical fiction novel explores
the enduring force of a mother’s love—and the painful choices required to
reclaim a life worth living.
Poinsettia Girl information: The Story of Agata della Pieta (Author Jennifer
Wizbowski) Venice, 1710, Poinsettia Girl is based on the story of Agata de la
Pieta, an orphan musician of the Ospedale de la Pieta. Ten-year-old Agata's
world is shaken at the sudden death of her mother. Left only with her egregious
father, a working musician in Venice, her ailing grandmother sends her to the
well-known orphanage, hidden from everything she's ever known. Agata auditions
for the conservatory style music school where music is both salvation and
spectacle. Hidden behind ornate metal grates, adorned with poinsettias in their
hair, the singers are veiled in mystery, their ethereal music drawing noble
audiences, including gilded young men who see them as treasures-not only for
their sound but as coveted marriage prizes. Just as she reaches the height of
her musical journey, a marriage proposal from someone outside the audience
tempts her with the promise of a new life-a return to the old neighborhood she's
longed for and a home she barely remembers. Torn between the music that has
defined her and the hope of belonging to a family, Agata must confront the most
profound question of her life: is her purpose rooted in the music that shaped
her, or in the love that might free her?
