About the Book
Though she hopes for a quiet, uncomplicated life for herself, Dorothy Clark wants nothing more than to stir others up. Specifically, she dreams of writing something that will challenge people as much as Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin seems to have. But in 1850s Mesquite Springs, there are few opportunities for writers–until newspaperman Brandon Holloway arrives, that is.
Brandon Holloway has seen the disastrous effects of challenging others and has no intention of repeating that mistake. Instead of following his dreams, he’s committed to making a new–and completely uncontroversial–start in the Hill Country.
As Dorothy’s involvement in the fledgling newspaper grows from convenient to essential, the same change seems to be happening in Brandon’s heart. But before romance can bloom, Dorothy and Brandon must work together to discover who’s determined to divide the town and destroy Brandon’s livelihood.
With this second novel in the Mesquite Springs series, bestselling author Amanda Cabot invites you to discover the healing power of truth.

I think this cover is so pretty. My First Line Friday quote comes from Ann Elizabeth Fryer’s Of Needles and Haystacks: https://wp.me/po307-1IT.
My first line comes from My Dear Miss Dupré by Grace Hitchcock:
New York City, New Year’s Eve 1882
Willow Dupré twirled on the ice, spreading her arms and guiding her body around the other skaters on the frozen lake of Central Park.
Happy Friday! On my blog I’m sharing the first line from Unknown Threat by Lynn H. Blackburn. Right now I’m reading Saving Grace by Denise Hunter; here’s the first line: “ ‘You won’t tell my dad, will you?’ she asked.”
Have a great weekend!
