Happy Friday, my bookish friends!
Any
plans for the weekend? I had a superficial keratectomy yesterday evening, so I am recovering, not sure what I will be able to do. Please be patient with me if it takes a while to visit your blog, not sure how my eye sight will be.
Welcome
back to
First Line Friday hosted by Carrie
at Reading is My SuperPower!! I am also linking up with Gilion on Rose City Reader
for Book Beginnings. This is where you share the beginning of the book that you are reading. To join in the fun grab the book you are reading and
leave a comment with the first line (or your link). This week I am reading Forgotten Memories by Penny Zeller. It's the first book in her Wyoming Sunrise series and it is set to release on August 30th.
A fleeting movement caught twelve-year-old Annie Ledbetter's attention.
Book Beginnings:
A fleeting movement caught twelve-year-old Annie Ledbetter's attention. She squinted at the grove of trees on a distant hill and willed her eyes to focus. A quick flash of something-or someone-appeared. Annie tipped her head to the left and stood on tiptoe, anticipating a better view.
About the book (Goodreads):
Some memories are best forgotten…
The
Wyoming Territory is rife with lawlessness and disorder, something
Annie Ledbetter and her parents discover when their wagon train is
robbed. Seven years later, Annie settles into her lifelong dream as a
teacher in the small town of Willow Falls. When she meets handsome
rancher Caleb Eliason through a humorous misunderstanding, she is
quickly drawn to his kind heart and charming smile.
Former outlaw
Caleb Eliason embraces his chance at a fresh start. Gone are the days
of robbing stagecoaches and wagon trains. When he falls in love with the
new Willow Falls teacher, he doesn’t realize they’ve met before—under
much different circumstances. When his past comes to light, will it put
the growing love between them at risk?
Can forgiveness and redemption heal two broken hearts or will the past keep them from sharing a future?
