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 Rescuing Finley by Dan Walsh, which I apparently bought in 2016 and have never read … but Tuesday’s Bookish Question has inspired me.

Here’s the first line from the Chapter One:

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

About Rescuing Finley

Amy Wallace has made plenty of mistakes in her young life, but she didn’t see this one coming. Chris Seger is a marine serving in Afghanistan. His life is forever altered by a single, fateful step. A mother of another Afghan war vet suffers a devastating loss, which changes the course of Finley’s life for good.

Finley is a mostly golden retriever, who suddenly finds himself alone and confused in a dog shelter. Could this prison actually become the place where Finley finally finds freedom?

Rescuing Finley tells the story of how one rescue dog powerfully impacts three tragic lives and puts all of them on a road toward redemption and healing.
