Welcome to First Line Friday!
Today we're looking at A Dance in Donegal by Jennifer Deibel.
The first line is ...
Boston
October 1920
The grandfather clock downstairs chimed the hour, its clangs all too reminiscent of the funeral bells presiding over Mother's service just yesterday morning.
What are you reading?
Danielle's Writing Spot is free to read, and always will be. If you’d like to support me, you can “buy me a tea,” which is my cozy name for the Buy Me a Coffee program. It’s a safe, simple way to give a one-time tip or set up a monthly contribution, helping to me keep sharing interviews, excerpts, and reflections with you.
Happy Friday! Today, I’m sharing the first line from Tidewater Bride by Laura Frantz. “Alas, she was not a tobacco bride, but she had been given charge of them.”

I enjoyed Tidewater Bride. Happy Reading!
Happy Friday!
Today on my blog I am sharing the first line of Waltz in the Wilderness by Kathleen Denly
” “No!” The scream pierced Eli, ripping her from her sleep.”

Happy Friday!
Over on my blog I’m sharing from All of You, Always by Lindsay Harrel: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2021/02/05/first-line-friday-171/. Currently, I’m just starting A Dance in Donegal by Jennifer Deibel, so I’ll share from there.
“The grandfather clock downstairs chimed the hour, its clangs all too reminiscent of the funeral bells presiding over Mother’s service just yesterday morning.”
Happy reading! ???
I hope you’ll enjoy A Dance in Donegal! It was so good! Happy weekend!
Wasn’t Dance in Donegal a super debut book?
My first line is from Obsession by Patricia Bradley:
The January warm spell had definitely ended in South Mississippi.
I was! So lyrical and thought provoking. Ooo, Obsession is my next read! I’m looking forward to it!
Happy Friday! My first line is from “Healing Hearts” by KImberly Rae Jordan:
“Sophia Haldorson shut off the car’s engine, then turned to look at her almost-five-year-old son who sat in his car seat behind her.”
I haven’t heard if that one, thanks for sharing! Happy Weekend!
