It’s First Line Friday! That means it’s time to pick up the nearest book and quote the first line. I’m quoting from Where Hope Begins, a new contemporary Christian romance from Candee Fick.
Here’s the first line from Chapter One:

About Where Hope Begins
It’ll take more than love on the menu to keep his family’s café open.
Joel Dawson’s dreams of corporate success are put on hold when his father collapses in the middle of the breakfast rush. Now it’s up to him to keep the family business open and his grandmother’s legacy alive–except his book-smarts are useless for running a café, and the only person who can help—their star waitress—is struggling with issues of her own.
Lauren Graham’s lifetime spent trying to meet her father’s impossible expectations has turned her into the ultimate people pleaser, but now, she’s at a crossroads. Skipping college classes to cover extra shifts at the café will infuriate her family, but saying no to Joel feels impossible, even if being around him stirs up memories she’d rather forget.
Opposites may attract but even with a shared faith, their differences may be unsurmountable. And with each financial setback, the future of the café—and Grandma Hope’s legacy—hangs in the balance. Is Joel willing to trade his big city attitude for a small town apron? And if so, is that enough for Lauren to trust him with her heart?
