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 from The Crow's Call by Wanda E. Brunstetter.
And the first line is ...
An April wind's flurry sent swirls of dust into the air and across the yard.
About the book...
When Vernon King, his son, and son-in-law are involved in a terrible accident, three women are left to cope with their deaths, as they become the sole providers of the family they have left. The women's only income must come from the family greenhouse, but someone seems to be trying to force them out of business.
Amy King has just lost her father and brother, and her mother needs her to help run the family's greenhouse. It doesn't seem fair to ask her to leave a job she loves when there is still a sister and brother to help. But Sylvia is also grieving for her husband while left to raise two children, and Henry, just out of school, is saddled with all the jobs his father and older brother used to do. As Amy assumes her new role, she also asks Jared Riehl to put their courtship on hold. When things become even more stressful at the greenhouse, will Amy crumble under the pressure?
Let me know the first line of the book closest to you and then head over to Hoarding Books to see who else is participating.

ReplyDeleteI love that first line!
On my blog today, I'm sharing the first line from The Inheritance by Michael Phillips:
"On a late afternoon of a surprisingly warm day, a small lad sat on a large stone with the blue of sky and water spreading out before him."
Hope you stay safe and healthy, and have a great rest of your weekend :)
I agree!
DeleteI haven't read that book yet, but that's a great first line, too.
Health and blessings to you, as well. Thanks.
Happy reading!
Happy Friday! My first line is from "The Jerusalem Assassin" by Joel C. Rosenberg:
ReplyDelete"They were coming, and he knew they were coming, and he knew why - they were coming to kill him and to kill the president and to kill anyone else who got in their way. They were coming to settle scores."
Becky, thanks for sharing. I read that book not too long ago. I really enjoy Joel's books.
DeleteBlessings and health to you and yours. Happy reading.

Happy Friday! I'm sharing from my current read, Finding Peace in Wishing Bridge by Ruth Logan Herne. Here is the first line of chapter four:
ReplyDelete"Three new fairy houses found their way to Fairy Trail Lane the following week."
Hope you stay healthy and have a great weekend!
Yvette, I haven't read that one yet, but it's on my list.
DeleteThanks. I hope you stay safe, as well.
Happy reading.
This week on my blog I shared the first line from One Little Lie by Colleen Coble but I'm just about to dig into Silent Shadows by Natalie Walters so I'll share that first line here: "Pecca Gallegos never thought she'd be turning down a marriage proposal--much less four of them." Hope you are doing well and can enjoy some quality reading time during all this social distancing!
ReplyDeleteBoth of those are great books, Becca! Thanks for sharing.
DeleteI'm having a hard time focusing enough to read and/or write, but I'm trying.
Happy reading!
