It’s First Line Friday! That means it’s time to pick up the nearest book and quote the first line. I’m sharing from an old favourite, Emerald Windows by Terri Blackstock, which I recently picked up on sale on Kindle. That must mean it’s time for a re-read!
Here’s the first line from the Chapter One:
What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?
About Emerald Windows
Ten years ago, devastated by an ugly scandal, Brooke Martin fled the small town of Hayden to pursue a career as a stained glass artist. Now Brooke has returned on business to discover that some things never change. Her spotted reputation remains. Tongues still wag. And that makes what should be her dream assignment tough.
Brooke has been hired to design new stained glass windows at Hayden Bible Church. The job is a career windfall. But Nick Marcello is overseeing the project, and some in the church think Nick and Brooke’s relationship is not entirely professional–and as before, there is no convincing those people otherwise.
In the face of mounting rumors, the two set out to produce the masterpiece Nick has conceived: a brilliant set of windows displaying God’s covenants in the Bible. For Brooke, it is more than a project–it is a journey toward faith.
But opposition is heating up. A vicious battle of words and will is about to tax Brooke’s commitment to the limit. Only this time, she is determined not to run.
