Very Highly Rated Women's Literary Fiction Book--FREE at the Present Time!

It's apparently a self-pub (I went to the publisher's website and found that it was solely devoted to this one book). However, this book won the the Mississippi Library Association 2015 Fiction Award, and has received many other awards and accolades. See the book webpage at Amazon to learn about all of them (be sure to notice the Kindle store sales rankings for the ebook). And, it's very highly rated (4.8 stars) at Amazon.

I know what some of you are thinking--"Yeah, but it's from the state of Mississippi. Can any book from there be any good?" Ever heard of Welty, Faulkner, Grisham, or Winfrey? They're all from Mississippi.

The Poppy Field Diary. By Carey Richard. Rated 4.8 stars from 46 reviews, at Amazon. Print list price $12.99; digital list price $3.99; Kindle price now $0.00. Bonhoeffer Publishing, publisher. 500 pages. https://www.amazon.com/Poppy-Field-D.../dp/B00MTYQAIG.

Book Description
From award winning author Carey Richard comes his debut literary fiction—a compelling journey through the beautiful fields of the human heart. Kirkus Reviews describes it as, "A highly personal story that mines the psychology of betrayal and forgiveness . . ."

Afghanistan was a beautiful land until greed and ambition pillaged its fertile valleys. She was beautiful too. Betrayed and broken, she journeyed through forty years of nomadic longing as her picturesque village disintegrated along with her hope. Unlike her beloved land, she at last discovered her place of rest.

Hers is a story for everyone who has ever loved. We dream, we hope, and we fall in love, only to hurt the thing we cherish most. But a few rare and beautiful relationships survive that lonely journey through the minefields of passion to discover intimacy, kindness, and forgiveness.
