First Line Friday: The Right Kind of Fool by Sarah Loudin Thomas

First Line Friday Autumn

 

 

How was your Thanksgiving (if you are in the US)? I hope it was a wonderful time with your family filled with food and gratefulness for the blessings in your life.

 

 

About the Book

Thirteen-year-old Loyal Raines is supposed to stay close to home on a hot summer day in 1934. When he slips away for a quick swim in the river and finds a dead body, he wishes he’d obeyed his mother. The ripples caused by his discovery will impact the town of Beverly, West Virginia, in ways no one could have imagined.

The first person those ripples disturb is Loyal’s absentee father. When Creed Raines realized his infant son was deaf, he headed for the hills, returning only to help meet his family’s basic needs. But when Loyal, now a young teen, stumbles upon a murder it’s his father he runs to tell–shaping the words with his hands. As Creed is pulled into the investigation he discovers that what sets his son apart isn’t his inability to hear but rather his courage. Longing to reclaim the life he abandoned, Creed will have to do more than help solve a murder if he wants to win his family’s hearts again.

    Happy Friday! My first line is from “Only You” by Susan May Warren, and is free for subscribing to her website:

    “Her happy ending was out there, at the end of the beam of her headlamp, and if Ree kept running, surely she would find it.”

    Happy Friday!
    I’m sharing the first line from Nicole by Sarah Monzon on my blog: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/11/27/first-line-friday-163/. I’m just beginning chapter 4, so I will share a line from there:
    “I’d learned early on in medical school to utilize any spare minute I could find.”
    Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and I wish you a relaxing weekend filled with fun reading time! ❤️

    Sarah’s book was awesome!

    My first line is from TO STEAL A HEART by Jen Turano
    November 1886 New York City
    It was quickly becoming evident that she, Miss Gabriella Goodhue, might very well be arrested in the nit-too-distant future, and all because she’d convinced herself that sneaking into a high-society costume ball would be a relatively easy feat, given her past life as a street thief .
