Giveaway: SEA CHANGE by KAREN WHITE
Book Description:
In SEA CHANGE, White sets her tale in the historic area of St. Simons Island off the coast of Georgia and tells the story of midwife Ava Whalen. When Ava meets psychologist Matthew Frazier at a conference, she thinks her days of loneliness are behind her. Shortly after a whirlwind romance, they elope and Ava leaves her family to move to St. Simons Island , despite her deep-seated fear of the water. Feeling adrift, Ava throws herself into uncovering Matthew's family history and that of the island, not realizing that she has a connection of her own to this place—or that her obsession with the past could very well destroy her future.
About Karen White:
After playing hooky one day in the seventh grade to read Gone With the Wind, Karen White knew she wanted to be a writer—or become Scarlett O'Hara. In spite of these aspirations, Karen pursued a degree in business and graduated cum laude with a BS in Management from Tulane University. Ten years later, after leaving the business world, she fulfilled her dream of becoming a writer and wrote her first book. In the Shadow of the Moon was published in August, 2000. This book was nominated for the prestigious RITA award in 2001 in two separate categories. Her books have since been nominated for numerous national contests including another RITA, the Georgia Author of the Year Award and in 2008 won the National Readers’ Choice Award for Learning to Breathe.
Karen currently writes what she refers to as ‘grit lit’—southern women’s fiction—and has recently expanded her horizons into writing a mystery series set in Charleston. Her tenth novel, The Lost Hours, will be released in trade paperback by New American Library, a division of Penguin Publishing Group, in April 2009.
Karen hails from a long line of Southerners but spent most of her growing up years in London, England and is a graduate of the American School in London. She currently lives near Atlanta, Georgia with her husband and two teenaged children, and a spoiled Havanese dog (who appears in several of her books), Quincy. When not writing, she spends her time reading, singing, playing piano, chauffeuring children and avoiding cooking.

Gone With the Wind is my favorite romance novel but I didn't take off school to read it. I read it during summer vacation. Sea Change sounds really good! I can't wait to read it!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Ms. White had me hooked from the first few chapters. Ms. White's writing style makes the characters and the scenes come alive and make you feel like you're part of the story. Sea Change is part contemporary fiction, historial fiction and paranormal. I thought I had an idea how Sea Change would end and how all of the stories tied in together, but was mistaken. Again Ms. White is a great storyteller and I look forward to her next book.

I saw this book on so many Monday Mailbox posts the last couple weeks. Sounds like such a great read. I know I'd love to try it out.

This book sounds like it has a fabulous setting and would be a great summer read!

Sea Change is an amazing book. It weaves several different stories into one. I couldn't really figure any of them out. Just when I thought I had, I really hadn't. Karen White is able to take a story told in the early 1800's and link it to a modern day story. There is family drama (lots of it is a really good way with each story line) mysterious pasts, and a whole lot of skeletons (as in family skeletons)!

This sounds like a good book, I love the setting.

I love books that use Georgia as their settings for the book. I love mystery, suspense, romance and thrills which I think are all included in Sea Change. Thanks for the opportunity to enter giveaway.
