Happy Friday, and welcome to First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books. This week I’m sharing the first line from Connilyn Cossette’s new release, TO DWELL AMONG CEDARS, which released earlier this month. It’s next on my TBR, and I’m looking forward to getting started!

About the Book

Eight years ago, when the Philistines stole and then surrendered the ark of the covenant back to the Israelites, Eliora left her Philistine homeland to follow the ark to the community of Kiryat Yearim. There, the family she was adopted into has guarded the ark at the top of a mountain in seclusion.

Ronen is a Levite musician determined to secret away the ark to a more fitting resting place, watched over by priests who would restore the Holy of Holies. He never expected that the Philistine girl he rescued years ago would now be part of the very family he’s tasked to deceive.

As Ronen’s attempts to charm Eliora lead them in unexpected directions, betrayal leaves Eliora with strained family ties and Ronen questioning his own loyalties. Ultimately, Eliora and Ronen are caught up in the battle for the soul of Israel and its future under the leadership of Samuel, the last judge before the era of the kings begins.

    I finally got this book today, I’ve been waiting all month:
    The Dress Shop on King Street by Ashley Clark,
    From the prologue:
    Charleston, South Carolina, 1860
    The candlelight sent a shadow of Rose up against the wooden wall. From the shadow, Rose looked taller. Stronger. Funny thing about shadows. They made even the smallest things into monsters or fairies or whatever folks wanted.
    Happy reading!

    On my blog today I’m sharing the first few lines from Jody Hedlund’s A Cowboy for Keeps: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/12/18/first-line-friday-166/. I’m currently on chapter 17 so I’ll share from there.

    Hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🙂❤📚
