Free Book (nook/Sony) - Probation

I don't know about you, but my Kindle is groaning under the weight of the landslide of free books yesterday (29 just from Amazon). No new ones (yet) today, but there are four free books in the Sony store and in Barnes & Noble store for the nook. I'd assume they have DRM (as they are from Kensington Press), so are not Kindle compatible. They've been free a couple of days in the other stores and no sign they are going to go down in price at Amazon (although Robin and Ruby, by K.M. Soehnlein, is free at Amazon and at Sony, but not at B&N). Along with the slew of free books from HarperCollins at Amazon only (and only for those in the US), leaves me pretty confused about the publishers' supposed goal of a level playing field amongst all former bookstores (theoretically, there won't be any price differences in ebooks, no matter where you purchase them, unlike with physical books). Regardless, here's the first of four free books today for those of you who read on a non-Kindle device:

Probation ($9.60 Kindle), by Tom Mendicino, is free from Kensington Press (generally LGBT) in the B&N and Sony stores.

Book Description
All it took to destroy Andy Nocera's seemingly perfect life was an anonymous tryst at an Interstate rest area. Sentenced to probation and thrown out by his wife, he spends his week as a traveling salesman, and his weekends at his mother's house where no questions are asked--and no explanations are offered.

To clear his record, the State of North Carolina requires Andy to complete one year of therapy without another arrest. He attends his sessions reluctantly at first, struggling to comprehend why he would risk everything. Answers don't come easily, especially in the face of his mother's sudden illness and his repeated failure to live as an openly gay man. But as Andy searches his past, he gets an opportunity to rescue another lost soul--and a chance at a future that is different in every way from the one he had envisioned.

With profound honesty, sharp wit, and genuine heart, this debut novel portrays one man's search--for love and passion, acceptance and redemption--and for the courage to really live.
