Counting Down to Christmas! Kristie Leigh Maguire Book Sales for the Hoidays!

Kristie Leigh Maguire Book Sales for the Holidays!

The Christmas countdown is on. Treat yourself or someone you love with the gift of a book from Kristie Leigh Maguire. No need to leave your house to take advantage of this Holiday Sale. Just go to Amazon and download the Kindle book or send it to someone on your Christmas list with Amazon's gifting feature.

Today's book from Kristie Leigh Maguire is "You've Got Mail from Japan" which is discounted from $2.99 down to only 99 cents for a limited time.

Margie and Sandy, two American expatriate women, meet and become friends while living in Saudi Arabia. After their husbands' assignments were completed, both women returned to their homes in the United States: Margie to Nevada and Sandy to Texas. Margie soon accompanies her husband on to his next assignment to Japan while Sandy remains at home surrounded by her family and friends.

Some things are very private--diaries, phone calls, letters, and emails between friends. You've Got Mail from Japan lifts that veil of privacy. This book contains actual emails exchanged between Margie and Sandy, with all the 'warts' and misspellings as they were written, on an almost daily basis over the course of a year. The writing is real and down to earth, as only emails between good friends can be.

Step into Margie and Sandy's world. Follow their incredible, somewhat quirky and offbeat journey as it actually happened. Share their times of joy, times of sadness, times of highs, and times of lows. The friendship between these two women shines from the pages and you feel as if you have eavesdropped on a private conversation, but accidentally, and then they smile at you and welcome you into their circle of friendship.

One reader stated, "I love this book! It is like I have broken into someone's computer, hacked their email, and now I am looking at all the juicy details...wow, this is fun!"

NOTE: This book is not a travel guidebook.
 
 
Friends Without Faces

Author Unknown

We sit and we type, and we stare at our screens,
We all have to wonder, what this possibly means.
With our mouse we roam, through the rooms in a maze,
Looking for something or someone, as we sit in a daze.
We chat with each other, we type all our woes,
Small groups we do form, and gang up on our foes.
We wait for somebody, to type out our name,
We want recognition, but it is always the same.
We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes flirt,
In ICQ we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.
We do form friendships - but - why we don't know,
But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.
Why is it on screen, we can be so bold,
Telling our secrets, that have never been told.
Why is it we share, the thoughts in our mind,
With those we can't see, as though we were blind.
The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell.
We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.
We can't tell "real" people, but tell someone we must,
So we turn to the puter, and to those we can trust.
Even though it is crazy, the truth still remains,
They are Friends Without Faces, and odd little names.

Prologue

You’ve Got Mail from Japan is an example of what true friendship can mean if you have the courage to reach out and embrace it. To forge the bonds of friendship and to hold that friendship close to your heart. To share your experiences, each becoming a stronger person for having shared those experiences with the other.

True friendship is a rare thing. Few have the courage to reach out and grab it. To hold on to it. To even recognize that it has been offered to them. To realize that their lives would be richer for having had it. True friendship is to be there for the other in times of adversity as well as joy. True friendship is a precious thing to be guarded like a valued treasure. Remember, that which has been shattered into a million pieces cannot be pieced back together again.

Over the years of my lifetime, I have been faced with many difficult choices. Which road should I choose next? How would the path that I chose to follow affect the ultimate design of the grand scheme of my life? It has not been easy for me to know which road to choose. I have had to make some very tough decisions along the way but I know the road I chose to follow at the time was the right one for me at that point in my life.

I have had to be tough. Very tough. I am like an old piece of rawhide. That old rawhide has become weathered and worn over the years. That old rawhide has been strengthened by the challenges that life has thrown at me. On the other hand, that same old tough piece of rawhide is constantly being polished to the soft sheen and luster of the finest piece of rare silk with each new test that I face and overcome.

I am woman! Hear me roar!
