THE Blue Ribbon BRIDES Collection (giveaway)

I really enjoyed reading this collection. A walk through time with the competitions at state and county fairs ranging from baking, to pigs and to my favorite – quilts! I found the history of this time was interesting, the research into the stories must have been fascinating and the romance.. he authors made the characters and stories so real and true to life. I’ve competed in fairs and I loved how each of these stories especially the Requilted with Love story  took me back to some very special memories.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Meet nine men and women whose competitive goals take them to state and county fairs between 1889 and 1930. From baking pie to polishing pigs, from sculpting butter to stitching quilts, everyone has something to prove to themselves and their communities. But in going for the blue ribbon, will nine women miss the greatest prize of all—the devoted heart of a godly man?
