Amazing Book Give Away by an Amazing Author!




The fabulous author, Patricia Hruby Powell, of the award-winning book, Josephine, is celebrating her newest soon-to-be-released novel in verse, titled Loving vs. Virginia by giving away a few copies before anyone else can get their hands on them.

Check out her statement regarding her new book below and go to her blog to see how you can become a proud owner of what will be sure to be another masterpiece, Loving vs. Virginia. Best of luck!

"Dear Friends,

My book, Loving vs. Virginia comes out January 31, 2017. But I’m giving away one copy a month. The real thing. Not the ARC.

The link below is to my blog and tells how you get a chance for a free early book. This is the love story of Mildred Jeter (black) and Richard Loving (white) who married in 1958, were arrested in bed. The case took 9 years to get to the U.S. Supreme Court where interracial marriage was ruled as legal! 1967!

Hope you win."
