I haven't done first line Friday in quite awhile. So, when I was given an early copy of this upcoming release by James L. Rubart I just knew I had to feature it! I love the cover and the back cover copy just draws you to read it!
About the book:
How Do You Stand Up for Yourself When It Means Losing Everything?
Allison Moore is making it. Barely. The Seattle area architecture firm she started with her best friend is struggling, but at least they’re free from the games played by the corporate world. She’s gotten over her divorce. And while her dad’s recent passing is tough, their relationship had never been easy.
Then the bomb drops. Her dad had a secret life and left her mom in massive debt.
As Allison scrambles to help her mom find a way out, she’s given a journal, anonymously, during a visit to her favorite coffee shop. As the pressure to rescue her mom mounts, Allison pours her fears and heartache into the journal.
But then the unexplainable happens. The words in the journal, her words, begin to disappear. And new ones fill the empty spaces— words that force her to look at everything she knows about herself in a new light.
Ignoring those words could cost her everything . . . . but so could embracing them.

First Line:
Are you still glad we did it? Allison Moore looked up from her laptop Monday morning and studied her business partner and onetime best friend, Kayla Brown.
Just like James Rubart to start of a novel with more questions than answers. Definitely makes you want to continue reading and find out what's going on.

Happy Friday! My first line is from "How the Light Gets In" by Jolina Petersheim:
"The caskets were closed, of course."
Happy Friday!
Today on my blog, I'm sharing the first paragraph from A Silken Thread by Kim Vogel Sawyer: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/03/21/first-line-friday-80/. Currently I'm reading Ladies of Intrigue by Michelle Griep, so I'll share a line from there.
"Mr. Farris and the soldiers thundered off, but despite the danger disappearing into the dark, Helen's heart still beat an irregular tattoo, for Isaac strode toward her."
Hope you have a great weekend. Happy reading! 🙂❤📚
Happy Friday!
The pages of her life sounds like a really interesting book!
My first line is from Kristy Cambron's "Castle on the Rise:"
"Fairy-tale weddings never included rain on the guest list."
Happy Friday!
On my blog today I shared the first line from When You Are Near by Tracie Peterson: https://thebeccafiles.com/2019/03/22/first-line-friday-53/ but I'm now currently reading The Baggage Handler by David Rawlings so I'll share the first line from my current chapter (4) here: "David corralled his nerves and forced them into one knee, which bounced an erratic dance as he sat in the reception area of Sisyphus Financial's top floor." Hope you have a great weekend!
That description and first line have a very James Rubart feel!
I'm sharing the first line from The King's Mercy by Lori Benton on my blog today, and that's what I'm currently reading. It's my first Lori Benton book and I've heard great things about her writing, so I have high expectations!
Alex MacKinnon roused to the press of wood beneath his cheek and an ominous churning in his gut.
Happy Friday! I'm sharing from General Meade: A Novel of the Civil War by Robert Kofman on my blog, here's the first line from the next book I'll be starting, Beauty in Battle by Robin Patchen:
"Darkness swallowed Harper's rental home even before Jack navigated his pickup around the corner."
My first line is from chapter 20 of A Hero for Miss Hatherleigh by Carolyn Miller.
Today had proved a day of wonders, enough to make Caroline almost believe there might be other miracles to be seen from this God the Kirbys trusted.
