Giveaway: Steal the North by Heather Brittain Bergstrom

by The Lit Bitch5 Comments on Giveaway: Steal the North by Heather Brittain Bergstrom

Emmy is a shy, sheltered sixteen-year-old when her mom, Kate, sends her to eastern Washington to an aunt and uncle she never knew she had.

Fifteen years earlier, Kate had abandoned her sister, Beth, when she fled her painful past and their fundamentalist church. And now, Beth believes Emmy’s participation in a faith healing is her last hope for having a child.

Emmy goes reluctantly, but before long she knows she has come home. She feels tied to the rugged landscape of coulees and scablands. And she meets Reuben, the Native American boy next door.

Thanks to the publisher, I am ecstatic to be able to offer a copy of Steal the North by Heather Brittain Bergstrom for your enjoyment!

Guest Post: Steal the North by Heather Brittain Bergstrom

by The Lit Bitch2 Comments on Guest Post: Steal the North by Heather Brittain Bergstrom

Even though I couldn’t fit Steal the North by Heather Brittain Bergstrom into my review schedule this month, this book caught my eye for a couple of reasons.

First, I liked the idea of a YA novel with a romance between a Native American boy Reuben and a white girl, Emmy. I thought this was something different and new in the YA market.

Often the YA market is full of teenage love triangles and dystopian badass female heroines. Emmy sounded different than the ‘normal’ YA heroine and I thought that was a bold move and made me want to know more.

The next reason I wanted to feature this book on my blog and offer a giveaway was because the author grew up in the Pacific Northwest. I live in the Pacific Northwest and have spent many a summer on the Snake River.

I loved that this book was set in a region that I was familiar with! So I asked the author specifically to write a post about living in the Snake River area and how the tribes and culture of this special area influenced her novel!

Without futher ado please welcome Heather Brittain Bergstrom to The Lit Bitch!
