    This is from Love You Always by Jan Editti Thompson, her 6th Savannah Sweethearts novel. I love her writing 🙂

    “We’re not hungry” five-year-old Peggy said earnestly, “we had turkey and bacon”.

    Now the fact little Peggy is talking about cat food makes it funnier!!

    I CAN’T write the first line of the book I’m reading right now because I’m a beta reader for a new book by Kristen Heitzmann. I CAN say it’s fantastic and you’ll want to read it when it comes out. The first book in her new series IS out and just as good. “I Told You So.”….. Look it up!

      I can’t wait for the undisclosed title you’re reading to release. Told You So was one of those books that sticks with you and keeps you thinking LONG after you’ve finished it–so good. You know, it may be time for a reread.

    The book closest to me is Parade of Stories, (my childhood friend). The first story is “One Cold Day” by Elizabeth Coatsworth
    “One cold day in late November, when the first show was beginning to fall, a little boy got lost in the woods.”
    I also want to share what is on the title page.
