Happy Friday!
Today, I'm reading Tammy L. Gray's My Hope Next Door and I'm liking this small-town drama so far. Enjoy the peek into its pages!
First Line: The Fairfield water tower loomed over Katie's regrets like a guard she had to sneak past.
From Page 56: There was enough pot roast, potatoes, green beans, and coleslaw to feed an army, but he was more than ready to help polish it off.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Former bad girl Katie Stone can feel the weight of her reputation settle over her as she drives home for the first time in years. Feeling deeply guilty about her past mistakes, Katie wants to do the right thing for once. But the small town where she grew up is not nearly as forgiving as she’d hoped. Despite it all, she’s determined to help her parents cope with her mother’s recent illness, and Katie finds a surprise ally in the man next door.
Asher Powell never minded being the son of a small-town pastor until a recent breakup leaves him wounded by lifelong members of his church. He remembers his new neighbor as a mean-spirited high school troublemaker, but he senses that her newfound faith and desire for forgiveness are sincere.
Through an unexpected friendship, two people from different worlds find peace, hope, and a second chance they never dreamed was possible.
Now, feel free to leave a line from a book near you in the comments below.

This is a book I need to look into! And maybe they’ll invite me to dinner too 😝
ReplyDeleteCute cover! Happy Friday Hallie!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! I'm featuring The Maid of Fairbourne Hall by Julie Klassen on my blog. But I will share the first line of Jody Hedlund's Love Unexpected here. "The blast of a gunshot awoke Emma Chambers."
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a neat book!
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing two first lines on my blog (because I'm featuring a dual-novella book), but for commenting, my first line comes from the book I'm currently reading: "Giver of Wonder" by Roseanna White.
"She would die today, one way or another."
So many books involve food that makes my mouth water!
ReplyDeleteI shared a line from Seeking Mansfield by Kate Watson on my blog today but the first line of what I’m reading is…
Is Daddy down there? (from Christmas at Cade Ranch by Karen Rock).
Enjoy your weekend.
Sounds like a good read! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love this book! Enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteMy current first line is from A MOTHER IN THE MAKING by Gabrielle Meyer: "John Orton stared at Anna's portrait, his grief nothing compared to his pulsing guilt."
This looks like a book I need to check out! :)
ReplyDeleteI’m featuring Hometown Girl by Courtney Walsh on my blog, but I’m currently reading a non-fiction book called She’s Got The Wrong Guy: Why Smart Women Settle by Deepak Reju so I’ll use that today.
Part 1:
From Problems to Faith
When it comes to dating and marriage, what problems do you face as a single woman?
Happy Reading!! :)
My first line is from The Color of Redemption by Lynn Cornell:
ReplyDelete"An eerie foreboding had jolted me from my sleep this morning, vexing my spirit - the kind of vexing that made me want to cower under my covers and stay in bed."
Making me hungry! :)
