Happy Friday, and welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books. This week, I’m sharing the first line of Tammy L. Gray’s newest novel, which released last month: Love and a Little White Lie. It’s yet another book that is patiently waiting for me to pick it up once this crazy period of my life has settled down, and I can’t wait to dive in! Have you read it yet?
About the Book
January Sanders grew up believing karma was more reliable than an imaginary higher power, but after suffering her worst heartbreak in 29 years, she’s open to just about anything, including taking a temporary position at her aunt’s church. Keeping her lack of faith a secret, January is determined to use her photographic memory to help Grace Community’s overworked staff, all while scraping herself off rock bottom.
What she doesn’t count on is meeting the church’s handsome and charming guitarist, who not only is a strong believer, but has also dedicated his life to Christian music. It’s a match set for disaster, and yet January has no ability to stay away, even if it means pretending to have faith in a God she doesn’t believe in.
Only this time, keeping secrets isn’t as easy as she thought it would be. Especially when she’s constantly running into her aunt’s landscape architect, who seems to know everything about her past and present sins and makes no apologies about pushing her to deal with feelings she’d rather keep buried.
Torn between two worlds incapable of coexisting, can January find the healing that’s eluded her or will her resistance to the truth ruin any chance of happiness?

Happy Friday! I love that first line!!
My first lines come from The Summer House by Lauren K Denton……
T he morning Worth left, something pulled Lily from her sleep, though at first glance nothing seemed out of place. The light coming through the bedroom window was soft and hazy. Above her the ceiling fan ticked and swayed, and outside a lone bird sang, trying to rouse its friends. Everything else was still and quiet.
Have an awesome weekend and happy reading!📚💜
Yes, I’ve read Love and a Little White Lie and I loved it! I’m sharing the first line from Finding Love for the Workaholic by Laurie Larsen on my blog today. “Isabelle Harmon drew in a lungful of air.”
Happy Friday! On my blog I’m sharing from a non-fiction text called Just Show Up by Kara Tippetts and Jill Lynn Buteyn. I’m just beginning chapter 3 so I’ll share a line from there.
“Years ago, the pastor who baptized our daughter was diagnosed with ALS.”
Hope you have a great weekend! 🙂❤📚
Happy Friday!
Over on my blog I shared The Fifth Avenue Story Society by Rachel Hauck
