a nominee for the 2017 RT Reviewer’s Choice Awards!
And the first line is….
“Dear Mr. Chupp,
Your letter was accidentally sent to my house.”
Congratulations, Kathleen, on the much-deserved nomination!!

My FLF comes from a book I’m hoping to get to soon, Looking for a Hero by Debbie Macomber.
Savannah Charles watched the young woman wandering around her bridal shop, checking prices and looking more discouraged by the moment. Her shoulders slumped and she bit her lip when she read the tag on the wedding gown she’d selected.
Have a great weekend!!
oh that sounds good!
Happy Friday!
Over on my blog this week I’m sharing the first line from Sarah Sundin’s “The Sea Before Us”. It’s a fantastic story!
