Happy Friday! First Line Fridays is hosted by Hoarding Books and participants share the first line from a nearby book.
Today, I'm sharing the first line from Stay With Me by Becky Wade:
"The hallway floor jolts downward beneath my feet, throwing me off balance."
Have you read this book? Book blurb below and you can read my review here.
What are you reading this weekend? I'd love for you to share your book's first line!
Happy reading!
About the Book:
Loving her is a risk he can't afford . . . and can't resist.
When acclaimed Bible study author Genevieve Woodward receives an anonymous letter referencing her parents' past, she returns to her hometown in the Blue Ridge Mountains to chase down her family's secret. However, it's Genevieve's own secret that catches up to her when Sam Turner, owner of a historic farm, uncovers the source of shame she's worked so hard to hide.
Sam has embraced his sorrow, his isolation, and his identity as an outsider. He's spent years carving out both career success and peace of mind. The last thing he wants is to rent the cottage on his property to a woman whose struggles stir his worst failure back to life. Yet can he bear to turn her away right when she needs him most?
Happy Friday!
