It’s First Line Friday! That means it’s time to pick up the nearest book and quote the first line. I’m quoting from Because of You by Australian author Hannah Currie.
Because of You a Young Adult novel about a short-term mission trip to Thailand, which is a switch-up from her usual royalty romances. Here’s the first line from the Chapter One:
What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?
About Because of You
Sixteen-year-old Chloe Gabriels has dreamed of going on an overseas mission trip for as long as she can remember, so when the opportunity arises for her to go to Thailand with Teen Missions International she jumps at the chance. Working at an orphanage, learning new skills, experiencing a different culture, making lifelong friends—what better way could there be to spend her summer vacation?
Of course, the trip will have its challenges—living in close quarters with seventeen other teens out of their comfort zones has a way of doing that—but it will be worth it. She’ll finally be serving God in a practical way.
But while the orphans and their stories break her heart, it’s someone unexpected who has the biggest impact on Chloe’s summer and leaves her wondering if maybe there are just as many people who need her love back home as there are overseas.
