It’s First Line Friday time. Pulling again from treasures read a while ago, today’s first line comes from another Love Finds You… book. I thought I would do them all in a row!
Love Finds You in Hope, Kansas by Pamela Griffin
I have read several from this line and being the history/geography lover that I am, have found these real town names and fiction stories fun.
So here’s the first line.Drumroll please…….

It’s First Line Friday time. I’ve been off the grid a bit over the past month with a musical I was assistant directing, spring break college hunting for my son and several family birthdays. Now I’m back and I have a new batch of First Line’s to share. I recently went through my plethora of books I stored under my bed (it was like finding treasure!) and found several I plan to share over the next few weeks.
So here’s the book I selected for todays First Line:

Bandolero by Nancy J. Farrier
Land of Promise, Book 1
Nancy is a friend of mine that I met through two different writing groups**. This is her first Indie book, although she has several others out either in collections or as stand alone.
Here’s the book blurb:
She’s been rejected and betrayed. He sacrificed all to seek revenge. Can they find they trust God as time runs out?
Alta California 1830’s Yoana Armenta knows she is doomed to a miserable existence after her betrothal is broken. But when her reckless behavior results in her and her Tía being captured by bandoleros, Yoana fears her impulsive nature may cause irreparable disaster.
Amado Castro gave a death bed promise that he intends to keep – at all costs. When that means endangering Yoana’s life, he struggles with the decision to honor his word, or to protect Yoana, whom he has come to care for more than he could have imagined.
Now as the women face a fate worse than death, Amado and Yoana both have choices to make. Will they each be willing to surrender self, and trust God, even if that means the worst could happen?
So here’s the first line.Drumroll please…….
Alta California–1830’s
Billowing sheets of gray congregated overhead. A few rays of sun stabbed through the mass to brush pale fingers across Yoana’s face. Fingers too weak to warm her chilled heart.

Molly Everton flung open the door to her father’s office in the Killdeer Sentinel, not caring that it hit the wall with a loud crack, “Is it true, Father?”
A Rita Award finalist, this novella is one of four in a collection titled “Four Weddings and A Kiss”. The collection has a fun prologue with four pastors sitting around a campfire.
