Handling the Truth Contest: and the winner is

To the nearly two dozen individuals who wrote to share their definition of memoir for the Handling the Truth galley giveaway—my deepest thanks. Your words were remarkable to me, so remarkable that I plan to write about them in a piece that I will share at a later date.

Because your definitions were all equally good, because I know some of you and could not bear to choose among favorites, I randomized the entries and selected the winner blind.

The winner is ..............

Adrienne.

Adrienne, if you could send me, via email, your mailing address, the galley is yours.

Also, announced yesterday, courtesy of the uber-generous Wendy Robards of Caribousmom, was the winner of the Beth Kephart giveaway. For more on that, go here. Thank you, Wendy, and thanks to all of you who participated. It means a lot, and it was very interesting to see which books made their way to the top of your lists.
