Freedom to Read Giveaway Hop!

Hey everyone! Welcome to my stop on the Freedom to Read Giveaway Hop! With the 4th of July coming up this weekend - what better way is there to celebrate and spend those vacation days than reading? 

On a serious note, I hope you all stop for a moment a think about what freedom means to you - and what we've had to overcome in order to have those rights. Freedom of speech and expression is always a favorite for book lovers and a large amount of the population. I have to admit that it's sort of fitting that the celebration of our freedom is coming right after the monumental decision that happened last Friday, June 26, when the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage across the country. It was one of those days that will go down in history as a huge step towards equality among everyone. 

So this 4th of July, I will be celebrating our rights as American citizens, thanking veterans and praying for those in the military still fighting to keep us safe and free, along with celebrating the freedom that everybody deserves - life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Although our society still has a long road ahead and lots of obstacles to overcome, we are fighting hard to make sure that the freedom and rights of ALL people are honored and upheld.

I know what you're all thinking - get on with the giveaway already! I've been trying to figure out what to give away as my prize for the hop, and I've come up with a solution that fits the theme.

Blurb:

From the award-winning author of Letters from Home comes a poignant novel of love and courage, set against one of the most controversial episodes in American history: the aftermath of the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

Los Angeles, 1941. Violinist Maddie Kern's life seemed destined to unfold with the predictable elegance of a Bach concerto. Then she fell in love with Lane Moritomo. Her brother's best friend, Lane is the handsome, ambitious son of Japanese immigrants. Maddie was prepared for disapproval from their families, but when Pearl Harbor is bombed the day after she and Lane elope, the full force of their decision becomes apparent. In the eyes of a fearful nation, Lane is no longer just an outsider, but an enemy.

When her husband is interned at a war relocation camp, Maddie follows, sacrificing her Juilliard ambitions. Behind barbed wire, tension simmers and the line between patriot and traitor blurs. As Maddie strives for the hard-won acceptance of her new family, Lane risks everything to prove his allegiance to America, at tremendous cost.

Rules:
1. Since I am shipping the prizes myself, US/CAN entries only please!
2. Must have a valid shipping address.
3. Winners will have 48 hours to respond to my email before I will have to select a different winner.
