It’s First Line Friday! That means it’s time to pick up the nearest book and quote the first line. Today I’m sharing from Canyon War by new-to-me author Sarah Elizabeth Sawyer. Here’s the first line from the Chapter One:

What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?

 

About Canyon War

Traveling the West as a female physician, 34-year-old Doctor Rebekah LaRoche is no stranger to trouble. But on her way to New Mexico Territory, an unexpected stay in Amarillo, Texas, leads to confrontation with the Baxter clan – four brothers bred for trouble – and finds Rebekah in deep trouble.

Cattle rancher Clem Baxter’s private war over grazing rights in the Palo Duro Canyon turns disastrous, and when the dust settles, one of the Baxter brothers is hurt bad. Clem sends for a doctor, not a woman, but that’s what he gets when Rebekah, known as “Doc Beck,” arrives at the ranch.

Now held at Clem’s ranch against her will, Rebekah must plot to flee through the night with her young friend into the dangers and beauty of the Palo Duro Canyon.

Of Omaha Indian and French descent, Rebekah has always relied on her wits to get her out of any situation. But does that include facing down men willing to die—and kill—for a wild piece of land just as dangerous as any bullet?
