Today I’m sharing the first line from Hope Between the Pages by Pepper Basham, which released yesterday!
Here is the first line:
August, 1915
Biltmore Estate, Asheville, North Carolina
Any story that begins with a library is bound to be an excellent tale.
Uncover the Story Behind a One-Hundred-Year-Old Love Letter
Walk through Doors to the Past via a new series of historical stories of romance and adventure.
Clara Blackwell helps her mother manage a struggling one-hundred-year old family bookshop in Asheville, North Carolina, but the discovery of a forgotten letter opens a mystery of a long-lost romance and undiscovered inheritance which could save its future. Forced to step outside of her predictable world, Clara embarks on an adventure with only the name Oliver as a hint of the man’s identity in her great-great-grandmother’s letter. From the nearby grand estate of the Vanderbilts, to a hamlet in Derbyshire, England, Clara seeks to uncover truth about family and love that may lead to her own unexpected romance.

Then head over to Hoarding Books to see who else is participating:
There is a kind of story, God, that glides along under everything else that is happening, and this kid of story only jumps out into the light like a silver fish when it wants to see where it lives in relation to everything else.
That’s my choice for today, too!
