This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
The Wedding Gift
By Marlen Suyapa Bodden
Publication Date: September 24
From Amazon:
When prestigious plantation owner Cornelius Allen gives his daughter Clarissa’s hand in marriage, she takes with her a gift: Sarah—her slave and her half-sister. Raised by an educated mother, Clarissa is not a proper Southern belle she appears to be with ambitions of loving who she chooses and Sarah equally hides behind the façade of being a docile house slave as she plots to escape. Both women bring these tumultuous secrets and desires with them to their new home, igniting events that spiral into a tale beyond what you ever imagined possible and it will leave you enraptured until the very end.

Super awesome pick, as usual! Thanks :)
Sounds really good!
The synopsis sounds so good! I'll have to look out for this one.
I'll be honest and admit that I would never read something like that as it has tear jerker written allll over it.
Sounds interesting!!
Looks like an interesting read!

Hi Jill! First time to be here :) Sounds like a great book, will consider it in my list.
Have a great day!
Woah that sounds scandalous o-o not sure if Sarah sounds ungrateful or... I hope you enjoy it when it's out!
This is a FANTASTIC choice!! I don't normally read much historical fiction, but this one really sounds like a great read! It's sure to have lots of drama, and I love the idea of two sisters bucking the system the way these two obviously do. I sure hope Oprah takes notice of this one! Thanks for featuring it! :)
WOW -- by the title alone, I would have never guessed the plot line. Sounds really good Jill.
Nice pick. Thanks for sharing :)
