Thanks to everyone who entered, and check back soon for another contest!
This week I’m happy to announce a book giveaway just in time for the holiday season. I have one copy of One Perfect Day to giveaway to one blessed winner!
Below is an excerpt from my review, you can read the entire review here.
Nora Peterson is planning the perfect Christmas, possibly the last that her family will celebrate together. Her twins are high school seniors who will soon be lighting out of the family nest, and she’s determined to make some precious memories before their departure. Fraternal twins Christi and Charlie are far from identical in terms of appearance and personality, yet they share the invisible bonds that many twins experience. This bond is torn asunder and the structure of the family notably weakened following a tragic accident.
A single, widowed mother who works the emergency room as a nurse, Jenna Montgomery fears her only daughter will not see another Christmas. Suffering from a weak heart from a young age, Heather’s life perches tenuously on edge; any illness has the potential to throw her over, and she becomes progressively weaker each year. God gives them a miracle and new hope for life as the long wait on the organ donor list comes to an end.
So, how can you enter? Keep reading!

I’d like to read it for the fact that my youngest is a senior who is graduating this year, so I can relate to wanting to have that last “perfect” Christmas.
Also, having had 2 heart surgeries and being an organ transplant recipient I would be very interested in reading how this story plays out.
I subscribe to your blog.
The title interested me because I think alot of us (atleast myself) dream of a perfect day, not neccescary perfection but a day that went really well and that you know you will remember. This book sounds sad but also sounds like a great read. I’d love to be entered thanks.
The title interested me first because no one usually runs into a “perfect” day! And then after reading the summary, I really want to know what happens!!

The title caught my eye, because amidst all the chaos we have in our lives right now, a perfect day seems so out of reach. Would like to read what one person’s perfect day might look like.
The title interested me because I was thinking I could use a perfect day. The story itself sounds really good and I want to know what happens.

What interests me about this title? Well it makes me wonder…What is a perfect day? How does this author decide what makes a perfect day? How does this author describe a perfect day? I think to each of us our descriptions would be different and I would like to read this author’s view.
Thanks so much

I’d love to read this, the contrasting lives that the characters have. I have a feeling that the accident will help the child and that a giving family will bless another one.
The title was interesting because I’d like to get someone else’s take on what a “perfect day” would be.
Sues last blog post..Rats, I forgot my gratitude yesterday…..
Well, from your review, it sounds like one mother has reason to mourn while another mother has reason to rejoice. I wonder if the day is perfect for all of the characters.

Sonds like a great story…would love to read it!! lipinski.crystal[at]gmail{dot}com
This sounds like a very good book. The title catches my eye because I have been praying for a perfect day myself. I recently had spinal surgery and have been having a hard time getting around. I am anxious to start “living” again and hopefully experience the perfect day. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love to read it b/c I am always searching for new ways to make the holidays more festive and trying to come up with more traditions!
thanks so much for the chance!
Good books are so hard to find, this one sounds fantastic!
This sounds like such a good book. The topic has always fascinated me. I wonder about the lives of people who intersect in such a tragic (donor giver) yet hopeful way (donor receiver)
I’d like to know what the Perefct Day is from someone elses perspective.
Very interesting would love to read it
