First Line Friday Special Edition: In Like A Lion Out Like a Lamb

by 6 Comments

Welcome to another installment of First Line Friday hosted by Hoarding Books.

 

So our theme this week is “In like a lion, out like a lamb,” which really isn’t working out so much for spring this year. Here in Tennessee we’re flipping back and forth between warm and cold (sometimes all within the same day). This theme is actually pretty versatile as we could have gone with the animals in there, but I decided to take the first line from a book with a weather-related title.

Magnolia Storms by Janet W. Ferguson (Review & Giveaway)

Magnolia Storms Janet FergusonMaggie Marovich couldn’t save her father or her home from Hurricane Katrina, but she’s dedicated her life to meteorology so she can warn others when the monster storms approach. Except…she works three hours inland and rarely risks returning to her childhood hometown of Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Both her single-parent sister and the ship pilot Maggie once loved refused to leave the Coast, despite Maggie’s requests. Now a hurricane’s headed toward Mississippi, and Maggie’s sister is seriously injured, leaving Maggie little choice but to head south—into the storm.

The water and tides flow through Josh Bergeron’s veins, and he can’t imagine giving up piloting—even for the love of his life, the infuriating Magnolia Marovich. He tried to move on without her, marrying and having a child. But after his wife abandons him and his little boy, his career choice is threatened by the weight of his parental responsibilities. Moving next door to Maggie’s sister and sharing their childcare seems like the perfect set-up. Until Maggie blows back into town.

Being forced to lean on Josh for help washes up the wreckage in Maggie’s faith. Where was God during the destruction of Katrina? Why do some prayers seem to go unanswered? Between the hurricane looming in the Gulf and another gale raging in her heart, can Maggie overcome her past and find the trust to truly live?
