First Line Fridays - 1/20/17 - A Hope Undaunted

Happy Friday to you my friends! 

I am so excited to share my First Line with you today! It comes from a book that I have been longing to read and got as a Christmas present! Yay! Hopefully, I will be able to start it in the next few weeks. I have started The Choosing by Rachelle Dekker...It is SO good!  

But FIRST...In case you missed it, I had a very special post yesterday here on the blog. Tips for the Bookish World. Click on the link to find out more. I had so much fun writing it, I am thinking I will start writing bookish posts on a more regular basis!

Now, for my first line...I had the very great honour of meeting Julie Lessman in Nashville this summer. I will never forget her reaction when she heard my name, "Rachel Dixon? Oh! I pray for your mom every day! How is she doing?" THAT my friends, is Julie Lessman in a nutshell. She is such a caring person with a heart of gold. (My mom is doing great by the way, she had a couple surgeries over the summer and fall.) And my dear friend Abi knows how much I adore Julie and so she got me JULIE'S favorite book of hers. SO without further ado...I give you....
