Hi Everyone! It’s First Line Friday, so grab a book near you and share your first line in the comments below!
Today I’m sharing the first line from The Love Knot by Karen Witemeyer, a Ladies of Harper Station novella. Available separately or as part of the Hearts Entwined novella collection.
Here is the first line:
May 1895
Harper’s Station, Texas
Claire Nevin frowned at the cheerful white clouds frolicking across the blue sky and tried to close her ears against the melodies the birds insisted on singing in response to the deceptively fine morning.
Claire Nevin identifies herself in many ways: Irish immigrant, apprentice healer, and most importantly, sister. When her troubled sibling sends her an unexpected package by rail, the gift and the man who delivers it threaten to redefine Claire’s life once again. Fighting to hold on to all she’s built, will she lose what matters most?

Thanks for sharing! 🙂

My first lines come from a book I’m reading next, In Her Bones by Kate Moretti.
Your life is more open than you think. You think you’re safe. You have neighborhood watches and room -darkening drapes, password-protected computers, alarm systems, and garage codes that are absolutely not your firstborn’s birthday.
Have a great weekend and happy reading!😊💕
Hmmm. That is definitely an ominous beginning. Thanks for sharing!
This was such a good novella! Karen Witemeyer is one of my favorites. I’m featuring Michelle Griep’s new novella, A Tale of Two Hearts, on my blog today. Here is the second line:
“Closing her eyes, she savored the warmth and the first line to a new adventure, as was her wont whenever Miss Whymsy stopped by and lent her a book.”
Happy Friday!
That’s a great line! Then again, I do love Michelle’s writing so I shouldn’t be surprised. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Happy Friday!
The Book I’m sharing on my blog this week is A Love Restored by Kelly Goshorn but I’m currently reading The Abolitionist’s Daughter by Kathleen Maher so I’ll share the first line of that here: “The wrong ideas could get a head–and a body–into a heap of trouble.” Hope you have a great weekend with plenty of quality reading time! 🙂
