WANTED: Lifelines, Mothers, and Daughters
Crooked Hallelujah by Kelli Jo Ford
"The power of women - even through abandonment, religious fanaticism, and oppression - prevails, and four generations of Cherokee women know this firsthand. Together they have weathered storms and disappointment on all fronts, but ultimately their tenacity, struggles, and ties to one another drive them to survive in this modern drama."
The Bookmarks Classified "Date-with-a-Book" Raffle will allow participants to choose among 20 titles for a hardcover new book by reading the ad. The classifieds will have an intriguing description of the mystery book for "date night," and each raffle ticket purchased for $40 will allow the participant their chosen book and one entry for 20 prizes, ranging from gift cards and bottles of Raffaldini wine to the grand prize of a $500 gift card to Bookmarks. Gift cards are from: Oriental Trading, Great Outdoors Company, Jason's Deli, the App Store, Carrabba's, and more!
New classifieds will be added regularly over the two-week period with a grand reveal of all book titles on Friday, September 25.
The raffle, auction, and bidding will end on Saturday, September 26 at 11 a.m. The raffle winners will be announced at noon on Facebook with item pickups beginning at 1 p.m. from Bookmarks. Pick up begins at 1 p.m. on Sept. 26.
If you need the book mailed, an additional $4.50 will be added to your check out.
Please note that Classified "Date-with-a-Book" winners will be chosen at random. No person employed by Bookmarks or a person living in the staff member's household may win a raffle prize and are ineligible to participate. Each hardcover book has a fair market value of $17 - $32. Wine cannot always be shipped over state lines so a gift card of the same value will replace the wine if a winner is out of state.
