First Line Fridays


Grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line!

Today I am going to post a line from: 

  Awake at Widmore Manor
by Jessilyn Stewart Peaslee



And the first line is...

June 1799

"A single pea.  That was all that lay inside the pod that little Emma Widmore plucked off the vine."  

Happy reading and happy Friday!

  3. Interesting first line.
    I am currently reading The Duke’s Refuge by Lorri Dudley. Here’s the first line:
    Nevis, British Leeward Islands
    1814
    …Why did you not mention your illness sooner?

  4. Happy Friday! Today I'm sharing the first line from The Camera Never Lies by David Rawlings: "Eighty-eight years of life reduced to a vintage, cracked briefcase sat before Daniel Whiteley."

  5. Happy Friday! I’m sharing the first lines from The Rebel Bride by Shannon McNear on my blog today. This is the first line from Chapter 3:

    “Standing at the top of the porch steps, Pearl clenched her hands inside her wadded-up apron and glared at her cousin, who faced her from beside the wagon holding more wounded soldiers.”

  6. Happy Weekend! My first line is from "This Healing Journey" by Misty Beller:

    "Meeting a stranger shouldn't make him so nervous."
