Happy Friday! It's time for First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books.
It's time to grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line. Today on First Line Friday, I'm featuring the latest release (nonfiction) from Carolanne Miljavac, She Laughs.
And the first line is (from Chapter 1)...
I woke up late as usual to the sound of my mama threatening my life if I stayed in bed one minute longer: "Git up and git ready before I drag you out of bed by your ankle bone!"
About the book...
In the face of...
Poverty. Grief. Brokenness. Disaster.
Hopeless Situations. Life's Struggles.
She Laughs!
Join CA Miljavac on a journey of joy.
She believes with all her heart that laughter is a gift, providing a sliver of distraction from whatever struggle you might be facing ... relief when you need rescuing ... hope in the midst of hardship.
Though her life has been dotted with disaster, it's through laughter that she found the strength and courage to persevere ... joy for the journey. And she'll help you discover all the ways laughter can carry you through your own painful situations.
In ten laugh-till-you-cry chapters, Miljavac shares how laughter has been an essential and valuable part of her own healing, plus hilarious true stories will help you get started on the path to a life of peace and joy.
She Laughs. And you can too!
