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 Returning Home by Toni Shiloh:
What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?
About Returning Home
Evan Carter can’t believe he has to return home and live with his parents. Every hope and dream he ever had dissipated in a car crash that cost him his leg. Stuck in a wheelchair, he’s forced to reexamine his relationship with God and the local carpenter, Jo Ellen Baker.
Will renovating his home open the door for a mended relationship, or are some wounds too deep to heal from?
You can find Returning Home online at

I’m featuring Allison Pittman’s “The Seamstress” on my blog this week, and since I’ve just begun chapter 20, I’ll share that first line here:
“It was a hunger like she’d never known.”
Have a great weekend!
I just love reading Toni Shiloh’s books! This is a favorite of mine 🙂
Happy Friday! My first line is from “Falling for Grace” by Janet W. Ferguson:
“It was finally over.”
Happy reading Iola!
Happy Friday!
Today on my blog I shared the first line from American Omens by Travis Thrasher but it’s also my current read so I’ll share the first line from my current chapter (8) here: “‘I believe.’ Dowland said with all the conviction and soul he could muster.” Hope you have a wonderful weekend with plenty of quality reading time! 🙂
That book looks really good to me!
Today I’m sharing the first line from The Wood’s Edge by Lori Benton: “A white flag flew over Fort WIlliam Henry.”
Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday! I’m sharing the first line from Death in the Stocks by Georgette Heyer on my blog today. Here’s the second line:
“No lamp shone in the window but a full moon sailed in a sky the colour of sapphires, and lit the village with a pale light, as cold as the sheen on steel.”
I love Georgette Heyer! But I don’t think I’ve read that one – I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for stopping by!
My first lines are from A Return of Devotion by Kristi Hunter
Marlborough, England. 1816
She should have been prepared. After all, she’d had two months to imagine this moment. In truth she’d done little else besides imagine all the possible scenarios, each one worse than the last.
But she hadn’t imagined this.
