Happy Friday & welcome to the First Line Friday link-up! It’s time to grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line. Today, I’m featuring the first line of The Heart of the Mountains by the fabulous Pepper Basham. Her books are always perfection! Sweet, swoony, witty, and full of grace.
and the first line is…
Running away from an arranged marriage to the wilds of the Blue Ridge hadn’t gone as Cora Taylor expected.

Isn’t it?
I love all of Pepper’s books. She really loves her mountains and the people.
My first line comes from Heirlooms by Sandra Byrd:

Helen Devries carefully removed her nurse’s cap, fluffing her platinum , back combed bouffant, crackling the Aqua Net laquering it in place.
Happy Friday!
I’m just starting Hope Between the Pages by Pepper Basham, so I’ll share a line from there.
“For the entire afternoon, I waited for a summons to meet with Mrs. Vanderbilt, but the fateful moment never came.”
I hope you have a good weekend!
Fabulous book!
I can’t wait to read that one!
This sounds like a terrific story, which I would love to read!
