The Grace Painter By Mark Romang Giveaway!

Sometimes the hardest person to forgive is the one in the mirror reflecting back at you. Matthew London was once a highly respected hostage negotiator for the NYPD. But then a bungled hostage scene destroyed his career. Now all London wants is to be left alone to lick his wounds. For eight years he has lived like a hermit in a declining plantation house, a broken man with a secret past. Only his talent for painting Renaissance-style paintings and murals keeps his inner demons from totally destroying him. Each day London longs for a chance at redemption, never expecting it to ever happen. But then a young girl from a nearby parish is kidnapped, and London steps out from the shadows. Recruited to help find the missing girl by a down-on-her-luck FBI agent, London quickly finds himself thrust into the starring role of a daring rescue attempt. But before London can rescue the child from her kidnappers, he first must find a way to forgive himself for a past misstep, a blunder that forever altered his once promising life. But in the Atchafalaya Basin swampland, nothing is promised. Grace cannot be earned or purchased. It can only be given.   Pick up your copy here http://www.amazon.com/Grace-Painter-Mark-Romang/dp/1482687054/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1364351236&sr=1-1&keywords=the+grace+painter I was born in 1967.

This is me in a nutshell. This is a different book then what I am used to reading, and I read a lot of books. The writing was different then what I am used to as well. It has a very good story line but I do like books about forgiveness and grace.
