Hold the Light

First Line Fridays: Hold the Light

October 13, 2017 by Suzie Waltner 14 Comments

First Line Fridays

Another week is winding down. I’m enjoying the cooler weather this week. In Tennessee, fall doesn’t hit until October! Don’t forget to check out the other FLF bloggers over at our host’s site. You can also link your own FLF posts here: Hoarding Books Blog

This week’s book released a couple months ago but it has stuck with me, easily at the top of my best of the year list!

First Line Friday Hold the Light

And here’s the first line, which happens to be one unassuming word:

 Unremarkable.

More about the book

To an artist, the light is everything. So what is Amber supposed to do when facing blindness?

Amber spent her life adapting first to being abandoned by her birth mother as a toddler, and then to the death of her adoptive father in her teen years. Now she s moved past all that, loving life as an independent woman: she has a job as an art instructor and the perfect apartment.

But when a routine eye appointment reveals she s losing her sight, life comes to a halt. Pressures come at her from all sides. Her mother, her boss, her boyfriend and her closest friend, Shannon, all have ideas about what s best for her.

Even after her blindness counselor, Ethan, befriends her and opens her eyes to new opportunities and the possibility of a deeper relationship, one haunting question remains: How could the God she loved all her life turn everything upside down again?
