Afternoon Edition! Free Kindle Book!

On our way out the door to hit M&L!!  We have a fun group of ladies ---They call themselves the Caravan Quilters, and as it turns out, I knew most of them, if not all of them from when we were all on the Dear Jane list back in the late 90s! ((Doesn’t that just sound SO WEIRD!!))

Caroline I’ve seen in both Paris and Stuttgart, Brigitte came to all 3 workshops I held in Stuttgart and knew all these ladies who knew me…..they’ve all done the Dear Jane retreats in Shipshewana over the years..

I am just blown away by how close quilters are --- we all know someone who knows someone, and you’d be amazed who knows you through someone else!

I finally had time this morning to get some email time and reading time and just came across this goodie to share – it was free when I clicked it, hopefully it still will be for you :

Book Description:

It’s one minute after the Big One. Marty Slack, a TV network executive, crawls out from under his Mercedes, parked outside what once was a downtown Los Angeles warehouse, the location for a new TV show. Downtown LA is in ruins. The sky is thick with black smoke. His cell phone is dead. The freeways are rubble. The airport is demolished. Buildings lay across streets like fallen trees. It will be days before help can arrive.

Marty has been expecting this day all his life. He’s prepared. In his car are a pair of sturdy walking shoes and a backpack of food, water, and supplies. He knows there is only one thing he can do … that he must do: get home to his wife Beth, go back to their gated community on the far edge of the San Fernando Valley.

All he has to do is walk. But he will quickly learn that it’s not that easy. His dangerous, unpredictable journey home will take him through the different worlds of what was once Los Angeles. Wildfires rage out of control. Flood waters burst through collapsed dams. Natural gas explosions consume neighborhoods. Sinkholes swallow entire buildings. After-shocks rip apart the ground. Looters rampage through the streets.

There’s no power. No running water. No order.

Marty Slack thinks he’s prepared. He’s wrong. Nothing can prepare him for this ordeal, a quest for his family and for his soul, a journey that will test the limits of his endurance and his humanity, a trek from the man he was to the man he can be … if he can survive The Walk.

Have a great afternoon!  We are planning lunch out together, then rush home to get everything together for the lecture tonight…Sister’s Choice workshop tomorrow --- long journey home on Wednesday!
