Today’s Free Book Friday prize is:
The Light Between Oceans by M. L. Stedman
After four harrowing years on the Western Front, Tom Sherbourne returns to Australia and takes a job as the lighthouse keeper on Janus Rock, nearly half a day’s journey from the coast. To this isolated island, where the supply boat comes once a season and shore leaves are granted every other year at best, Tom brings a young, bold, and loving wife, Isabel. Years later, after two miscarriages and one stillbirth, the grieving Isabel hears a baby’s cries on the wind. A boat has washed up onshore carrying a dead man and a living baby.
Tom, whose records as a lighthouse keeper are meticulous and whose moral principles have withstood a horrific war, wants to report the man and infant immediately. But Isabel has taken the tiny baby to her breast. Against Tom’s judgment, they claim her as their own and name her Lucy. When she is two, Tom and Isabel return to the mainland and are reminded that there are other people in the world. Their choice has devastated one of them.

I am a voracious reader for a good reason:I live alone and the reading takes me into another world thereby forgetting my depression and loneliness.
Thanks for this chance to win a book.

I’ve become really interested in fiction about this period – it’s helping me understand my family better. It’s important that we not forget about what previous generations went through.

This unhappy member has never won anything. I have been here since Jan 2009, paid almost $2000.00 for DC only and now it is gone. Sorry but even a free book will not make me happy. You should let us know BEFORE you take away something like this. I cancelled the requests I had because of this. I will become another member who only wants books but won’t post any until I get rid of my credits and money and then goodbye. Sorry. I know. This is not a place to vent but I am truly unhappy!
I’d enjoy reading this book. Thanks for the chance to win.

I’m an avid reader of William J Johnston books and usually I never read any other Author. But a book giveaway is a nice way to get to a person to broaden their minds and read from another Author. If win great, and if not I’ll try again and even look more in to other authors. Win or lose, THANK YOU Paperback swap for giving everyone an opportunity to broaden their minds
Looks like a great read!
