First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros - The Other Mother; Carol Goodman



Each Tuesday, Vicki, from I’d Rather Be At The Beach hosts First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros where  readers post the opening paragraph (sometime two) of a book that they are reading or plan to read.


The Other Mother; Carol Goodman
William Morrow - 2018

Part 1

Chapter One

"She's crying again.

I don't know why I say again.  Sometimes it seems as if she's done nothing but cry since she was born.  As if she'd come into this world with a grudge."

 I read a few favorable reviews on this one, what do you think?

  2. I've got this one on my list. I've liked all of the Goodman books that I've read so far and am still making my way through her backlist. She usually has some kind of woods and a creepy old house and then whatever else. And she's got a new one coming out next spring. I need to get this one read.

  7. I like that opening, one that many of us can relate to and yet it begs a question right from the start.

  13. Uh oh! My first child was one of those criers. The first lines remind me of the movie Tully.
