Cover Reveal: If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch & Giveaway
Check out the cover for If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch. If You Find Me was formerly titled as The Patron Saint of Beans. It’s hitting shelves on April 2, 2013 so mark your calendars! I’ve had the opportunity to read this one and it was fabulous! Heartbreaking and hopeful all wrapped up in one!
Another reason why you will want to mark the release on your calendars is because a portion of the proceeds from book sales will benefit Taylor Hendrix’s Christmas Project. Seventeen-year-old Taylor, battling osteosarcoma, gathers gifts in backpacks to brighten the spirits of cancer teens in hospital during the Christmas holidays.
In addition to the reveal you also have the opportunity to win a signed arc of IF YOU FIND ME! If you want more information about IF YOU FIND ME or about Emily Murdoch, check out her blog Left In My Write Mind or follow her on twitter! And don’t forget to add If You Find Me to your Goodreads shelf!
A broken-down camper at the Obed Scenic and Wild River National Park – dubbed the Hundred Acre Wood – is the only home fifteen-year-old Carey has ever known.
Sure, coping with a bipolar mother on meth is no picnic, but beneath the sun-dazzled canopies of Hickory and Walnut, Carey’s violin transports her from their bare-bones existence in the same way her little sister, Jenessa, finds comfort in her stash of second-hand Pooh books.
Life is dependable that way, until Mama goes into town for supplies and vanishes off the face of Tennessee, sending social services in her wake with a one-way ticket back to their father – a stranger in an even stranger world.

I really like the cover, I love the fact that they used a girl who has freckles!! I don’t remember seeing a girl with freckles on a cover before, and if I have it is slipping my mind. Yay for us freckle faced girls lol!

I see the cover with the girl and trees and I immediately feel like there is something alluring to it. More importantly it seems this book will provide readers with a significant message.

I’m sad this book isn’t called The Patron Saint of Beans anymore! What a great title. She sold this novel around the time I signed with my agent and we were both posting at Query Tracker about our experiences. Can not WAIT to read this one.

The cover is very intense. Just by looking at it, I could tell that this book was going to be a more serious one. If You Find Me sounds like a very good read, and I’d love to give it a try!
Thank you for the giveaway!

I actually like this cover! It’s one of those that will make you stop and pick it up, for sure. I like how the girl is not standing there in one of those dresses wearing to much make up. She looks natural and yet intriguing.

I really love the freckles on the model’s face. For some reason freckles remind me of the outside, which remind me of the country. I think it fits very well! Having the dark woods behind her also puts a nice atmosphere over the cover. I like the little bit of creepy gong on!
