The final item in my week of giveaways is Come Back, A Mother and Daughter's Journey Through Hell and Back, a true story co-authored by Claire and Mia Fontaine. I plan to read and review this book at a later date, but I received two copies and want to give one away this week.
My mom is reading this book now, and when I asked her if I should read it, too, she said, "Every mother should read this, really."
Dani did read the whole book, and she posted a thoughtful review that you should check out. Here are some other press blurbs:
"Best mother-daughter memoir." - Glamour magazine
"A nightmarish saga of a teenage runaway in L.A. ends triumphantly ... Mia's desperate diary entries appear between Claire's lively, angry narrative, allowing mother and daughter to maintain a heart-wrenching, honest dialogue." - Publishers Weekly
"We strongly recommend this powerful mother-daughter memoir ... Intense, shocking, and ultimately triumphant, Come Back is the tale of two lives in turnaround." - B&N.com, as featured on the We Recommend page.
Also, you can learn more about the mother and daughter authors Claire and Mia Fontaine at www.claireandmia.com.
Want to win this book? Just leave a comment on this post through Monday. (I extended this one a day since I'm posting it late Friday.)

Sounds like a really interesting book. Sign me up!
Maybe it would explain my mother and I's peculiar relationship? Hmmm...
Sounds like I could really benefit from this book!
Sounds like a great book.
Reminds me of this movie I saw a couple of years ago. I went to see it with another mom who has a daughter, and we were both cowering in the back seats with our hands over our eyes. Afterwards, we went shopping for good sturdy locks to put on our daughters' bedroom doors and picked up applications for them for the nunnery.
(thanks for visiting my blog!)
oh oh oh, I want to be entered to win!!

I found you through Mommybloggers, and I also got the opportunity to read Comeback. It's amazing, and my review also includes a giveaway of the book! I'm so glad I found you!
