Giveaway: Without a Backward Glance by Kate Veitch

I was thrilled to receive an email last week from Kate Veitch, author of Without a Backward Glance, letting me know that her novel has been named one of the Top Books of 2008 by American Library Journal. Without a Backward Glance was one of 13 fiction books on the list of 37. Congratulations, Kate! You definitely deserve such recognition! (You can read the entire list here.)

[I really enjoyed the book, and you can read my review here. I also had the pleasure of interviewing Kate (one of my first author interviews!), and you can read it here.]

Here's a description of the book from Kate's website:

On Christmas Eve in 1967, a London woman unhappily transplanted to the Australian suburbs makes a decision that will change forever the lives of her four young children.

Forty years on, those children are adept at concealing their shared pain. Deborah has a demanding political career, James is a successful artist, Robert a respected school principal. Only Meredith, the baby of the family, seems stuck. But as their father begins to lose his grip on reality, they find themselves floundering in an unfamiliar sea. And their past is about to reach into the present in ways that will shock and challenge them all.

To celebrate the book's success, Kate would like to offer a copy of Without a Backward Glance to one of my readers. To enter, simply leave a comment on this post. **Make sure you leave your email address or blog URL so I can contact you if you win. If I don't have a way to contact you, your entry won't be counted.**

Because the holidays are fast approaching, I'll leave the contest open until midnight EST on Sunday, January 4. This giveaway is open to readers everywhere.
