Book Giveaway For Down at the Golden Coin

[close] During the horrible recession, unemployed airline pilot Annie Mullard feels she has sunk to a new low when she's forced to go to a run-down laundromat, the Golden Coin, after her washing machine breaks. But it's here she meets a messiah. Even though twenty-something blue-haired Violet can read minds, send Annie into past lives and levitate Tide with Bleach Alternative, she isn't anyone's idea of a messiah. Yet Violet is equipped with the wisdom, love and humor to help Annie find a way to a more authentic life, one in which Annie is free to create her own reality and where money is not the key to happiness.

"Strickland, in her second novel, effectively combines the earnestness of Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life with the didactic voice of The Secret. With its timely, relatable story peppered liberally with pop-culture references and religious conviction, Strickland's novel should strike a chord with readers who will relate to Annie's struggles and search for a happier future. A lesson in faith and the power of positive thinking, all nestled within a satisfying story." --Kirkus Reviews
