Author and friend Heather Burch passed away on July 19. She was one of those people who truly lit up a room. Heather had a big heart with room for everyone and was amazingly kind. Beyond that, she was fun and funny AND she was a USA Today bestselling author. It was too soon to lose this amazing woman.
As a tribute to Heather I would like to offer two of her books as a giveaway.

The books I’ve read are:

Along the Broken Road – Armed with only a journal and a promise, soldier Ian Carlisle returns home to fulfill his friend’s dying wish: to find the man’s daughter and read her his journal, one page at a time.
Wishing Beach – After a painful divorce from a narcissist, Angela Reed-Baker has taken up residence on the famous Wishing Beach Island, a destination known for granted wishes beneath the mysterious Banyan tree near her beachfront estate. Just as Angela begins to settle in, her life takes an unlikely turn when she discovers a tattered photograph of a young woman among her groundskeeper’s belongings.
These novels features characters with complicated lives, who find the strength to overcome challenges, and find love along the way. I can highly recommended each one.

I’m sorry for the loss of your friend.
I can’t imagine how I have missed this author, not even her name is familiar. All three books that you have read sound like winners. I have my fingers crossed. Thank you for the opportunity to meet a new (to me) author.

Too many of our authors seem to leave us too soon. Rest peacefully, Heather
Mary, I am sorry you missed the tribute yesterday. It was beautiful. I didn’t know Heather, but felt like I did through the many shared stories and pictures. Thank you for doing your own tribute. Reading Heather’s post when she announced her diagnosis was a shock. I learned about her that day through an author friend. I ordered Ozark Mountain Christmas and loved it. So far that is the only book I have read of Heather’s. I am thankful to habe been introduced to her writing. And like many others, I am saddend that stories she still had will be untold.
Thanks for this lovely comment, Wendy. Heather and her stories will live on in the memories of friends and families. She also had a passion for telling stories featuring veterans. One Lavender Ribbon and Along the Broken Road are examples of that. Best wishes and happy reading.
