First Line Friday

Happy Friday-I haven’t done one of these in a few weeks because I’ve been traveling so much and haven’t had the time. Last week we traveled to Cedar Rapids, Iowa to see our oldest daughter and a few weeks before that it was Corolla and Duck, North Carolina for a family trip. I think we’re done traveling for a few months because of cold weather. First Line Friday is hosted by Reading Is My SuperPower so feel free to go here to link up and see other First Line Friday posts.

My First lines this week are………..

Stewie rolled his shoulders and pulled the collar of his shirt away from his scrawny neck. It bothered him when it clung there. He had never gone down to that last house before, because he hadn’t needed to. He had always sold out his wagon full of eggs without needing to walk so far.

About the Book

An unexpected connection becomes the saving grace for two unlikely friends in a heart-stirring novel about love, loss, and moving forward by a New York Times and #1 Amazon Charts bestselling author.

Never knowing his parents, eleven-year-old Stewie Little and his brother have been raised on a farm by their older sister. Stewie steadfastly tends the chickens left by his beloved late grandmother. And every day Stewie goes door to door selling fresh eggs from his wagon—a routine with a surprise just around the corner. It’s his new customer, Marilyn. She’s prickly and guarded, yet comfortably familiar—she reminds the grieving Stewie so much of the grandmother he misses more than he can express.

Marilyn has a reason for keeping her distance: a secret no one knows about. Her survival tactic is to draw a line between herself and other people—one that Stewie is determined to cross. As their visits become more frequent, a complicated but deeply rooted relationship grows. That’s when Stewie discovers how much more there is to Marilyn, to her past, and to challenges that become more pressing each day. But whatever difficult times lie ahead, Stewie learns that although he can’t fix everything for Marilyn or himself, at least he’s no longer alone.
