Heather Brown Moore is a dear friend and an extraordinary writer. I have not yet read her Out of Jerusalem series, but I want to very much. Her book, Abinadi, published in 2008 won the Whitney Award and The Best of State for Fiction in 2009. It is extremely well-written. This writer has the capability of putting you right back in time to the days of King Noah’s court. She writes with rich sensory detail and, most importantly, her characters have depth.
Raised in a home where the Book of Mormon was a central feature, she has used all the FARMS research and available archeological detail to make her books as real as possible. Having visited the Middle East many times, she is comfortable with describing the life of Lehi’s family’s journey as real as possible.
This week, Out of Jerusalem:Land of Inheritance, is being given away on a contest on Anne Bradshaw’s Blog: Not Entirely British www.annebradshaw.blogspot.com. Anne is the author of Famous Family Nights. She is also a wonderful person, who spends much time reviewing and supporting her fellow Authors. Many of us are featured in her book, which will be released very soon by Cedar Fort.
Heather and Anne are fellow LDStorymakers, and my life certainly wouldn’t be as rich without them. Check out their books!
Have you ever wanted to go to Vienna? To take a virtual tour, visit the website – http://www.last-waltz.com/ – my brilliant husband just created, and be certain to visit the Vienna section—all of it. You will see panoramic views of gorgeous buildings inside and out. Those of you who have read my book, will love to visit the place where all the action took place! The only objection I have is that Rudolf doesn’t look like that. He looks like Richard Armitage.
I am actively seeking ten bloggers to receive free copies of The Last Waltz who will review the book on their blog within the first six weeks of receiving it. Here is a little taste:
In December 1913, the city of Vienna glitters with promises of the future for nineteen-year-old Amalia Faulhaber. Daughter of a prominent merchant, she is schooled in the fine art of flirtation by her aristocratic grandmother and in issues of conscience by her socialist uncle. Then, almost without warning, life takes a dramatic turn as simmering political unrest escalates into World War I, the most deadly war the world has yet known.
Amalia is devastated when the Prussian baron Eberhard von Waldburg breaks off their engagement to return to Germany and a commission in the army. But while Europe descends into darkness, Amalia is forced to confront even greater challenges. Disillusioned and heartbroken, she discovers a budding passion for democracy that sets her life on a new and unpredictable course.
Her family torn apart and impoverished by war, Amalia struggles to find her way in a changing world. Should she marry an idealistic young doctor who shares her political views or the wealthy Baron von Schoenenburg, who promises to provide safety and security in a violent, tumultuous time? Her growing political conscience sets her apart in the social circles of Vienna, but is it worth the personal cost to her and her family? And what can she do when her beloved Austria rushes headlong to embrace Hitler, threatening to destroy everything she loves?
In this gripping tale of love and war, a dazzling young socialite of the old world contends with deeply contradictory notions and personal crises to become a woman who would be extraordinary in any age.
