We’ve been blown away by the growth of Read It Forward over the last several months. For example, we received over 20,000 requests for Chris Bohjalian’s Secrets of Eden! Wow. That’s a lot of hungry readers out there. We wish we could send books to everyone who enters for the chance to get one, but alas, it’s impossible. We send as many as we can every month.

We want everyone to have the pleasure of dipping in to Secrets of Eden, so we’re providing an excerpt for everyone to download for free (see the link below). Secrets of Eden really is an extraordinary literary thriller, a page-turning read with characters who will haunt you long after you finish reading.
