Julie's Journal
Good girls have diaries... Bad girls have blogs!
A couple weeks ago I got the chance to review a new book, thanks to One2One Network. They sent me a copy of Eileen Goudge’s new book Once In A Blue Moon, and I also have a copy of the book to giveaway to one of my readers!
Lindsay and Kerrie Ann are sisters who have known hardship from an early age. Without guidance from their neglectful mother, their only aid came from an unlikely source, a retired exotic dancer by the name of Miss Honi Love. When the girls’ mother was sent to prison, Miss Honi tried unsuccessfully to save them from being separated and sent into foster care.
Thirty years later, Lindsay is still trying to reconnect with her sister. The owner of a bookstore in the sleepy California seaside town of Blue Moon Bay, she was lucky enough to have been adopted by a loving couple. Unbeknownst to her, Kerrie Ann has suffered a very different life. Bounced from one foster home to the next, she ran away as a teenager before becoming a drug-addicted single mother. Now, newly sober, Kerrie Ann is fighting to regain custody of the little girl who was taken from her.
Neither sister’s expectations are met when they’re finally reunited. But as the two sisters engage in the fiercest battles of their lives, they are at last drawn together despite their differences, restoring belief in the unshakable bond of family.
Once In A Blue Moon isn’t normally the type of books I read, but I found myself really enjoying it and getting attached to the characters. It’s very well written and easy to read. If it sounds like the type of book that you enjoy then enter my contest to win a copy!

Like other people said, this wouldn’t be the kind of book I’d normally read. But I’ve found my tastes are actually much broader than I thought they were — I’ve been pleasantly surprised by several “odd” recommendations lately. So if you’d recommend this, I’d be very interested in giving it a try!
Not my typical type of read, but i am always looking for new authors.
This book looks very interesting, something that would keep my attention, I would love to read it, I have not read any of her books before but I am always up for New authors 
I don’t think I’ve ever read any of her books, but would love to read this!
