Happy Friday! I hope you are having a great day and looking forward to a relaxing weekend!
Welcome to 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. This week I am sharing from Love's Dwelling by Kelly Irvin.
This is the first book of her new Amish Blessings series.
About the book (from Goodreads):
Cassie Yoder loves her
job as a housekeeper for elderly couple Job and Dinah Keim. Their only
children, a son and daughter, left the Haven, Kansas, district and their
faith more than twenty years earlier with no contact. Cassie feels for
the Keims because her own parents’ infertility struggles left her an
only child in a community where big families are a blessing.
When
Child Protective Services shows up on the Keims’ doorstep with their
five grandchildren, their quiet lives—and Cassie’s—are turned upside
down. Mason, the oldest grandson at twenty-two, believes his siblings
should be his responsibility and struggles with giving the Keims
authority.
Moving in with the Keims, Cassie jumps in with both
feet and is happy for the challenge of caring for these English-raised
children.
Mason and Cassie strike up an uneasy alliance that
turns into friendship, and then something more, but neither dares to
admit it. Can an English man and an Amish woman find common ground and a
home together?
Child protective services and Amish do not normally go together so I am intrigued by this book!
Your turn! Grab the book nearest you and post the first line in the comments!
Looks like a lovely book Cindy. I used to live in a house where we would get regular visits to the bird feeder by cardinals. We don't get them here, but we do have a few bluebirds.
ReplyDeleteBirds are interesting to watch, that's for sure. I am halfway through the book and having a hard time putting it down! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteYou're book looks good!
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Before I Called You Mine by Nicole Deese. It's absolutely amazing. Here's a line from the chapter I'm currently on: "in the eighth grade I went on my first-ever real camping trip to the mountains with a group from my school."
Hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🙂❤📚
