Welcome to First Chapter/Intros, hosted by Yvonne @ Socrates Book Reviews. Each week readers post the first paragraph (or 2) of a book we are reading or plan to read soon. This one comes from my (20) Books of Summer list.

Laurel Hill knew that a part of her would die if she ever had to leave Lake Superior. Its lapping was a heartbeat, one connected to her own. Without the sight and sound of it landing onshore and departing again, the turning of the water as constant as the earth's orbit, her soul would fade and tear, a sheet left on on the line too long.
What do you think read more or pass?
This one is new to me! I like the opening enough to click over and see what it's about.
ReplyDeleteI just started this and think it was be a good summer choice. Single mom with young daughter to support - I like the writing so far.
DeleteGreat excerpt! Now I definitely want to read more.
ReplyDeleteYes, I enjoyed the intro and I wanted to learn more - just started it.
DeleteSuch a wonderful intro, yep, more reading would be in the cards.
ReplyDeleteThis far it seems like a nice book to ease into summer with.
DeleteI haven't heard of this one but that intro makes me want to read more.
ReplyDeleteShort chapters and only on chapter 7 but but, so far I am enjoying it.
DeleteIt's a great first line! I'm curious to know what this book is about. :)
ReplyDeleteSO far a single mom trying to make ends meet and her 10 year old daughter.
DeleteA very thoughtful passage...yes, I'd read on...
ReplyDeleteYes, Kay, I thought so as well.
DeleteAn absolute grabber first sentence for me personally. I think often these days about what it will mean when we have to leave this house in the wilds of the Adirondacks. So, whatever the scenario here, I'm very curious, and will investigate this book. Thanks! Enjoy...
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Judith, I can see how many people might feel like that about a home/locale that has been special for them.
DeleteI think you might like it Vicki.
ReplyDeletehmm she's really connected to Lake Superior. So I'm a bit curious on why she thinks she has to leave or if she is being forced ... for some reason.
