Book three, The Thorn Healer, is filled with the same passion, truth, spiritual growth, and of course ROMANCE!!! Keep your fan near by and as Pepper would say:
You know what day it is! FRIDAY!!! Which means it is time to grab the book that you are the closest too and post your First Line!
In honor of Veterans Day today I am sharing my first line from a book (that I have yet to read) about the true story of an incredible man's quest to save 149 World War II POWs.
But first, I wanted to share with you this video that never ceases to bring tears to my eyes and thankfulness to my heart.
Now for my first line...
Thursday, 23 November 1944, Thanksgiving Day,
94th Infantry Division Headquarters, Châteaubriant, France
Andy Hodges had been handed a job no one else dared to accept--a direct order from Major General Harry J. Malony, commander of the 94th Infantry Division, headquartered in Châteaubriant, France.
From the Back of the Book
In 1944, hundreds of Allied soldiers were trapped in POW camps in occupied France. The odds of their survival were long. The odds of escaping, even longer. But one-man had the courage to fight the odds . . .
Post your First Line below and head over to see what First Lines my lovely friends have today!

About the Book
International pop star Margo Hartman could use a night off. A grueling tour and overbearing entourage have sent her over the edge. It’s time for this diva to disappear. And who would think to look for the superstar in a small Dutch town in Ohio?
Sheriff’s deputy Brock Moore is undercover as well. He knows Margo isn’t who she appears to be, but her uncanny resemblance to a local Amish woman is raising all sorts of questions…the kind that make her a target for a killer.
Good morning (or afternoon...depending on your time zone) and welcome to this week's edition of First Line Fridays!
This week I have the honor of sharing with you a brand new book from one of my very favorite authors! Jen Turano's books captured my heart from the moment I began After a Fashion almost two years ago. Her style is unique and the humour makes me laugh out loud quite often. Look for my review for Finding Margo coming soon! I will give you a hint though...I loved it! Now...on to my first line!
Present Day
"With the roar of the crowd still reverberating in her ears, Margo Hartman stepped past one of her many bodyguards and into the relative quiet of the dressing room she'd been assigned for the evening."
★★★★☆☆ - You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you. (More Info)
