Mammy Jane Giveaway | Chickens in the Road

Mar
13

Kathy, a reader here, bought the Mammy Jane book after I posted about it. Knowing others wished to read the book but couldn’t buy it, now that she’s finished reading her copy, she wants to give it away to one of you. (It’s a like-new copy, only read once.)

If you want it, let me know! This giveaway will be open till midnight tonight (March 13). I’ll update this post with the winner tomorrow!

UPDATE 03/14/11: The winning comment number, drawn by random.org, is #12, Theresa Winstead. Email me at CITRgiveaways(at)yahoo.com with your address for shipping!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED TO ENTRY.

I love the idea of passing along the book. Please enter my name. My husband is in the Air Force and about to deploy again. When he returns, we hope to find a place in West Virginia to retire. I would love to read this personal story about Mammy Jane. It’s been so wonderful to follow your daily experiences on your place in WV. And “THANKS” Kathy!

I would LOVE a copy of Mammy Jane. I know a couple of kids that could read a chapter or 2 and find out how VERY lucky they are not to have the workload her kids did!!
My family can use the inspiration after being gone from our little farm for almost a year!!! Only about 3 weeks Until I get to go home!!!! And then I am going to get some goats!!!
Thanks Suzanne!!

I went looking for the book after you posted about it and it was too expensive for me to buy a copy. I guess it’s out of print? So, YES!!! I would just love to read it. I would read it and pass it along, too. Maybe we could make a list comprised of the people in the comments section and then one person could read the book and pass it along to the next person in line? Maybe? I haven’t read all the comments, so I don’t know if anyone else suggested this. Anyhoo…I’d just love to read it and pass it along again.
