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 After the Rain by Brandy Bruce:
What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?
About After the Rain
Debra Hart is moving on. Maybe. Hopefully. One day.
As a radio show host, Debra spends her mornings as Miss Lonely Heart on air, empathizing with all the broken hearts in the Denver metro area. She spends her evenings watching old musicals and trying not to think about the guy who broke up with her and subsequently fell in love with one of her best friends. Alone in a new city, Debra questions where she belongs and who she is now.
When she stumbles into the indie music scene, Debra meets singer Ben Price. Rock star appeal, with a day job as a worship pastor, Ben is everything Debra wants to avoid. But he’s determined to be her friend, and it so happens she could really use one. Because try as she might, nothing seems to erase the anger and betrayal she feels.
It’s time for a new dream. But how does she start over when the pieces of her broken past remain lodged in her heart?

Thanks for sharing this book. I am always glad to find a new-to-me author. On my blog I am sharing from Daughters of Northern Shores by Joanne Bischof. But here I will share from the top book on the stack on my desk — Almost Home by Valerie Fraser Luesse. Chapter One — “Anna Williams leaned out the truck window and let the wind blow her damp auburn hair away from her face.”
Have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you for sharing! This is another new author to me!
My first line is from On Magnolia Lane by Denise Hunter; Jack McReady had fallen in love with Daisy in one-hour increments.
Have a great weekend!
Blessings~💖
Happy Weekend! My first line is from “Castle on the Rise” by Kristy Cambron:
“Fairy-tale weddings never included rain on the guest list. Or snow – and they had both.”
Sorry I didn’t make it around earlier this weekend! This week on my blog I featured Night Road by Kristin Hannah but I’m currently reading Finally Accepted by Toni Shiloh. I’ll share the first line from my current chapter (6) here: “Chloe sat out on her apartment deck with a cup of herbal tea and her Bible.” Hope you had a great weekend!
