ABOUT THE MILESTONE TAPES
Jenna Chamberland never wanted anything more than to be a wife and mother. That is, until she realized that her life was ending after a three-year battle against breast cancer. Now, all she really wants is more time.
With 4,320 hours left to live, Jenna worries for her loved ones and what she knows awaits them on the other side: Gabe will have to make the slip from husband to widower, left alone to raise their seven-year-old daughter; Mia will be forced to cope with life without her mother by her side. In a moment of reflection, Jenna decides to record a set of audiocassettes — The Milestone Tapes – leaving her voice behind as a legacy for her daughter.
Nine years later, Mia is a precocious sixteen-year-old and her life is changing all around, all she wants is her mother. Through the tapes, Jenna’s voice returns to teach Mia the magic of life, her words showing her daughter how to spread her wings and embrace the coming challenges with humor, grace and hope.
THE MILESTONE TAPES is the journey of love between a parent and child, and of the bonds that holds them when life no longer can.

Would love to be a part of the tour (open to pretty much anything, review, guest post, interview, giveaway, etc. and at any time, really) Thank you so much for the opportunity. :)
Love your site. Great giveaway
i would love to win this giveaway b/c it describes me perfectly!
avid reader, romantic, LoVe gardenias! and feminine soaps, Lavender seeds to plant and to make lavender scones, blackberry is a fave fruit & not grown locally, so cobbler from this would be gourmet for me! :)
It’s just a totally feminine inspiration that says who i am… and being a mom, i totally get Jenna’s heart for Mia ~ her desire to nurture, guide and inspirit her daughter to a successful future…
Pure Loveliness!
TY for the opp to enter !!
Great giveaway, love the romantic feminine soaps.
I would love to win this because my Kindle has a mind of it’s own. It only works when it wants to and i really need another one, Thanks for this great giveaway! Gale
I want a copy of the book! It sounds fantastic!!! *grin* And that cover is just SO LOVELY!!!
I would love to win a kindle.
This is an amazingly generous giveaway, and the reason I’d like to win is mainly because I want to win a copy of “The Milestone Tapes”. I also happen to love all things lavender, and I don’t own an e-reader (yes, I’m probably the last book-blogger/book-nerd that doesn’t have it, yet!) however, those are still secondary factors to how MUCH and how BADLY I want to WIN & READ “The Milestone Tapes”.
I believe it really speaks to the generosity of love that a mother can influence and guide her daughter, even from beyond this world by leaving her behind a piece of herself in the form of letters. I believe this book really explores the human condition, the human psyche, and (above all) the beautiful relationship between a mother and a daughter. I’m so psyched for this novel :D
I would love to win because these are fabulous prizes and I would love to have a copy of The Milestone Tapes! I’ve had a kindle on my wish list for ages. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I’d love to win the Kindle for my daughter! My little one would love the Dr. Seuss book, and I’d keep the book and GC for myself! I’d share the toiletries and jam with my mom :)
