2011 Thankful for the Holiday Blog Hop

I am doing something new to this year and participating in the 2011 Thankful for the Holidays Blog Hop! This is being hosted by Romancing the Book and Reviews by Molly, and I am thrilled to be giving away copies of my book, Destined to Fail. I will be giving away one eBook––open worldwide, and one print copy––open to US residents only.

Jasmine Jones is ready to begin her new life as a college student, and is ecstatic to have best friend Abby by her side. But weeks into their new college life, Abby drops the bomb- she is pregnant, and dropping out of college. Jasmine can’t handle the fact that Abby is wasting her opportunity to get an education, and going back to her cheating, abusive boyfriend. She struggles to move on from her friendship with Abby, but befriends two new girls at college. Everything seems back on track for Jasmine- great new friendships and roommates, a strong relationship with boyfriend Nate, and excelling at her college courses. But Jasmine’s newfound happiness is shattered when her pregnancy test comes out positive. Does she have to drop out of college now and become a young mother? Will Nate stay with her? How can she afford a child? Jasmine’s life has been filled with obstacles and challenges along the way- from a missing father, sexual and physical abuse, and addictions that tore her family apart. With this latest setback, Jasmine fears her life will always be a struggle. Destined to Fail is one woman’s story about overcoming adversity in life, about taking the negatives and finding a positive, and about never giving up hope.

    I’ve only entered a few of these giveaways from this event. So many of the blogs there post is buried and I couldn’t find them. -< Also I just found out about this contest.

    Anyway, I'd love to enter. I have about 5 giveaways running right now. Everything from a bible, devotionals, a $50 paypal giveaway and a Netbook – they are on these blogs:
