I love Julie Lessman’s books. A Hope Undaunted is no exception. While the first book in a new series, if you’ve read the other books, you will love seeing favorite characters make reappearances. Katie O’Connor is a “modern” woman in the late 1920’s who has goals for her own future – which include a husband and a career. But when she is forced to spend the summer with a hated figure from her past all her plans seem to be tossed to the wind. A gripping story painted in the late 1920s. Wonderful romance, and rich cast of characters. LOVE IT!

I can’t wait to read this one!
Hey Cara!
Julie sent me over : )
I would LOVE to win one of Julie’s books…they’re fabulous aren’t they? I’ve read A Passion Most Pure and just adored it!
I also wanted to mention that I loved Trial By Fire! When did Deadly Exposure come out because I’ve seen that one on Amazon and it sounds good, but I don’t remember seeing it in stores! Lol….
Stars in the Night is also on my TBR/Wishlist : ) I think I might try to check at Borders again for it!
Hope to hear frmo you soon!

Hannah, Deadly Exposure released in 2008 — that book is the first I started writing when I decided to pursue publication. I love it! Hope you can find it — Amazon’s probably a good place to pick it up.
Thank you for doing this contest! I hope to read Mrs. Lessman’s books soon. 🙂

Julie Lessman has quickly and solidly become one of my favorite writers and I wish I could develop as fine a writing style with quality like hers. Woo Hoo, I am so happy to find this giveaway for Julie’s “A Hope Undaunted.” This book has been on the top of my to be won list for a long time…so this time I hope I win it. Thanks so much for the chance, Cara.

Okay, I’m ashamed to admit I’ve never read a Julie Lessman novel. However, I would like to rectify that oversight and win the first one. LOL. Seriously, sounds like a great read. Looking forward to it.

Julie is #1 author for me as well!
It would be so great to win a copy of her latest book!! I have been waiting for it to be finished for so long, or so it seems!

Hey, CARA, thanks again for posting my contest and I JUST realized your giveaway was separate from my contest, so I apologize for not advertising it on my website calendar.
BUT … we have comments, and everyone knows how I cannot resist responding to comments!!
SARAH … glad you found Cara’s blog because this woman has one of the most unique bios I’ve ever seen — I mean how many romance writers are lawyers??!!!
THOU ART JULES … gosh, every time I see your addy, I want it, girl!!! Good luck in the contest.
HANNAH!! You came — thank you!! I know how hard you’ve been trying to win a signed book, so I appreciate you hitting all my blog giveaways (although this is Cara’s … thank you, Cara!!). Good luck, sweetie.
LADY DRAGONKEEPER … you’re another one that’s been working very hard to win, so as soon as I found out about Cara’s giveaway, you came to mind. Good luck!
KRISTIA … You and LD have just GOT to win one of these times, right??? Here’s to a win!
BARB!!! Always love to see your smiling face, girl, so thanks for coming by AND for your wonderful support. Good luck!!
ELIZABETH … And YOU, my friend, have quickly climbed to the top of my favorite New Zealanders!! 🙂
MOLLY … grin … every time I hear you say that, I get a great, big grin on my face, girl — THANK YOU!!
LYNETTE … I have to tell you, girl, that I REALLY regret not introducing myself to you at the Revell dinner. I meant to, but somehow it got away from me, and I’m sorry. Tell you what — since you’re a top Revell author, if you don’t win my book here, e-mail me if you want to do a swap, okay? I would LOVE to read Too Close to Home as well. Deal??
CHARLOTTE … Ooooo, I like the sound of that — my books being “addicting,” that is!! Grin … I wish, then I could get my passion for God out there a LOT more easily … 🙂
Hugs,
Julie
I can’t wait to read A Hope Undaunted. Please enter me in the drawing. Thanks.

My daughter introduced me to Julie Lessman’s book and we have both been # 1 fans since!
I love how her writing turns your focus to God! keep writing!!
I have been so blessed by Julie’s books and the more of her books that I read, the more I love her.
She is such a passionate, loving and kind person. I love how she takes time out of her life to connect with her readers and always has an encouraging word for everyone who crosses her path. We are so fortunate that she chose to serve God with this gift of her writing.
And thanks for the chance to win her novels!
