First Line Friday

First Line Friday #275 | Spring Rain by Gayle Roper

It’s First Line Friday! That means it’s time to pick up the nearest book and quote the first line. Today I’m quoting from Spring Rain by Gayle Roper, a book I bought and enjoyed in paperback many years ago, which I have just bought again as an ebook.

Here’s the first line from Chapter One:

Leigh Spenser looked at the FedEx package waiting on the doorstep of her apartment over the garage and made no move to pick it up.

What’s the book nearest you, and what’s the first line?

 

About Sprint Rain

In this first book of the Seaside Seasons series, Leigh Spenser, a young teacher and the single mother of ten-year-old Billy, is thrown into conflict. Clay Wharton, the boy’s estranged father, comes home to Seaside, New Jersey, to await his twin brother’s death from AIDS.

Threats against Billy’s life ratchet the tension tighter, as Leigh wrestles with both tough and tender feelings for her old flame. Clay’s own conflict, as he seeks to come to grips with his brother’s lifestyle choices and the needs of the boy he fathered, underline the issue of God’s forgiveness in the hearts — and lives — of this modern-day family. An emotionally gripping read!
