Shelley Shepard Gray Giveaway

Posted Michelle Dawn

Anyone who knows me will attest to me being a very big fan of Shelley Shepard Gray. I have read all of her Amish fiction books and have met her twice. Let me tell you, she is one of the nicest people you will ever meet! I am so excited for this giveaway because it’s……..five books!!

HarpersCollins Publisher’s is hosting a giveaway of Shelley’s newest books! There are TWO copies of Missing and THREE copies of The Search. How awesome is that?

I previously interviewed Shelley and asked her if she had a favorite character from any of her books. Her answer was Clara from Spring’s Renewal (click here to read full interview). I myself have many, but I will say Mattie from The Survivor. She is such a strong character and her story was beautifully told.  Plus, I loved the dynamics of Mattie and Graham’s relationship.

My question for you readers is the same…..do you have a favorite character from any of Shelley’s books?

  8. My favorite character in her books had to be Graham from the survivor. He was a very strong male character who didn’t waiver from his beliefs or feelings. The way in which he cared for Mattie was one of his best attributes.

  29. My favorite character is Mattie from The Caregiver. And so is Lucy, I could I can relate to Mattie in so many ways, the most important is to keep on fighting when it comes to illness. God will only give you what He knows you can handle, no less no more. We each have to carry our cross and do it in Jesus’s name.
