It's a 5 Diamond Freebie


You know that old phrase "The grass is always greener on the other side"?  Have you ever thought about what that actual means?

For instance, take someone who is poor.  I bet many people who don't have a lot of money look at the rich and think, "Man.  It must be nice to not worry about bills, to have the money to be pampered, to go on fancy trips and drive the best car."

On the flip side, I bet many rich people look at people who don't have a lot of money and think, "Man.  It must be nice to have a father/mother/husband who spends time at home and isn't at the office all the time and to be loved for who you are, not because of what you can do for someone."

But what happens when these two worlds cross paths?  Can a solid relationship be had when people are so different?

My newest Diamond, Charles Sheehan-Miles explores this issue in his book "A Song for Julia".  But he also explores so much more.

Before I go on, here is the synopsis as it is written on Amazon:

"Everyone should have something to rebel against.

Crank Wilson left his South Boston home at sixteen to start a punk bank and burn out his rage at the world.  Six years later, he's still at odds with his father, a Boston cop, and doesn't ever speak to his mother.  The only relationship that really matters is with his younger brother, but watching out for Sean can be a full-time job.

The one thing Crank wants in life is to be left the hell alone to write his music and drive his band to success.

Julia Thompson left a secret behind in Beijing that exploded into scandal in Washington, DC, threatening her father's career and dominating her family's life. Now, in her senior year at Harvard, she's haunted by a voice from her past and refuses to ever lost control of her emotions again, especially when it comes to a guy.

When Julia and Crank meet at an anti-war protest in Washington in the fall of 2002, the connection between them is so powerful it threatens to tear everything apart."

This book isn't just about a love story.  It's about forgiveness, letting go of the past and figuring who you are and what you stand for.  It is written beautifully and never once lost my interest.

This is one of those books that you download and think, "I'll put it on my TBR."  

But don't do it.

Download it here and start reading it immediately.  It is truly a beautiful story and I can't wait to read more from this author.  Did I mention it is free? 

Yeah.  It doesn't get any better than a beautiful freebie.

I am proud to say, Charles Sheehan-Miles and his beautifully crafted song get
