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 Becoming Us by Jaycee Weaver and Jenn Faulk, which I picked up on sale back in July. I just love that cover!
Here’s the first line from the Chapter One:
What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?
About Becoming Us
He’s easy-going and charming. She’s hot-tempered and tightly wound. Together, can they become better than who they are apart?
Working through the disappointment of a teaching career that isn’t what he expected it to be, Mason Hayes’ otherwise cushy life gets turned upside down by the sudden loss of both parents in a car accident, leaving him with no one in the world. Until, that is, a half-sister he never knew existed shows up.
Hailee Miller-Garcia would do anything for Gina Bennett, including make a trip to meet the brother Gina’s never known – despite the issues Hailee’s having with her mother and little brother. As Mason’s life becomes entangled with her own, his laidback approach challenges her to reevaluate her own ways of dealing with the past, the present, and her dreams for the future.
Delving past friendship and growing into deeper feelings, it’s clear Hailee and Mason are better together. But the road ahead may be rocky and full of unexpected detours, challenging each of them to draw closer to Christ, work through their issues, and dream of a different future for themselves as they become more than a you and a me – they become us.
