Happy Friday!
This week I’m featuring:
Amazon | Goodreads
Since it’s a 3-in-1 romance I’ll share the first line from each of them:
Deanna’s Determination:
Deanna Speicher hurried to set up her table at the flea market, all the while trying to keep her five-year-old son in tow.
Rose Mary’s Resolve:
Rose Mary hurried over to her father’s furniture shop.
Leila’s Longing:
Leila Fisher stretched her arms above her head, squeezing her eyes closed as she rotated her legs off the mattress.
The Brides of Big Valley just released earlier this week, and I’m hoping to dig into my copy very soon. Each of the three stories seems intriguing so I’m anxious to dig into them 🙂
About the Book:
3 Short Stories of Love in a Unique Amish Community
In an area of Pennsylvania called The Big Valley, a uniquely blended Amish community thrives in which 3 distinct groups of Amish identify themselves by the colors of their buggy’s top—white, black, or yellow. Join New York Times Bestselling Author Wanda E. Brunstetter, her daughter-in-law, and granddaughter in experiencing the stories of three young women who search for faith and love within this special place. Deanna is a widow who sees her second chance of love slipping away. Rose Mary is at a point in life where she must choose the path of her faith and the right man to walk with her on it. Leila is burdened with family responsibilities and wonders when she will ever start a family of her own.
Now it’s your turn!

Three generations of author in one volume – what a unique concept!
I’ve got a combination first line and cover reveal over on my blog today, sharing the first line and the cover from A Girl’s Guide to the Outback by Jessica Kate. I’ve had the privilege of reading an early draft, and I’m looking forward to reading the final version!
In the meantime, I will console myself with reading Jessica Kate’s debut novel, Love and Other Mistakes, which releases next month. Here’s the first line:
“Natalie Groves eyed the bag of gingerbread M&M’s on the other side of the office meeting room and prayed for a divine intervention of Red Sea proportions.”

The three lines sound like a description of women’s lives in this community.
