THE MASON JAR Kindle Fire Giveaway from @JRLingerfelt!

The Mason Jar 
What if your old college roommate called, raving about a book someone sent her, calling it the most beautiful book she’s ever read? “But,” she said, “it’s about you.” The author is your college ex.
In The Mason Jar, Clayton Fincannon is a Tennessee farm boy raised at the feet of his grandfather. He and his grandfather leave letters for each other in a Mason jar on his grandfather’s desk—letters of counsel and affirmation. When Clayton attends college in Southern California, he meets and falls in love with a dark debutante from Colorado. However, when an unmentioned past resurrects in her life and she leaves, Clayton is left with unanswered questions.
Clayton goes on to serve as a missionary in Africa, while he and his grandfather continue their tradition of writing letters. When Clayton returns home five years later to bury his grandfather, he searches for answers pertaining to the loss of the young woman he once loved. Little does Clayton know, the answers await him in the broken Mason jar.
A story about a girl who vanished, a former love who wrote a book about her, and a reunion they never imagined.
Written for the bruised and broken, The Mason Jar is an inspirational romance that brings hope to people who have experienced disappointment in life due to separation from loved ones. With a redemptive ending that encourages us to love again and written in the fresh, romantic tones of Nicholas Sparks, The Mason Jar interweaves the imagery of Thoreau with the adventures and climatic family struggles common to Dances with Wolves, A River Runs Through It, and Legends of the Fall.
Find out more and purchase a copy at James’ website.

My Thoughts:

I did not like this book. Did James create believable characters? Yes! However, some of this book was straight out of a Nicholas Sparks novel, Dear John, is the one that comes to mind. Former boyfriend of Eden's gets sick and she is going to take care of his business while he recovers, which means she can't be with Finn. Don't misunderstand me there is no plagiarism, I am a huge Nicholas Spark fan and I picked up on the theme right away, which made it hard to enjoy because I was reminded of Dear John by Nicholas Sparks.
I really wish I had better things to say about this book, but I don't.
