Book Spotlight Fridays! Where the Road Bends

  

Book Beginnings and Friday56


Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your e-reader and share a non-spoiler sentence or two.

Rachel Fordham is an author which made her way to my must buy list after her first book I have read.  Though I have yet to read her other published books, I was excited to get my hands on this new release and though only 3 chapters in, enjoying it.


Where the Road Bends





About the book:

As Norah King surveys her family land in Iowa in 1880, she is acutely aware that it is all she has left, and she will do everything in her power to save it--even if that means marrying a man she hardly knows. Days before her wedding, Norah discovers an injured man on her property. Her sense of duty compels her to take him in and nurse him back to health. Little does she realize just how much this act of kindness will complicate her life and threaten the future she's planned.

Norah's care does more than aid Quincy Barnes's recovery--it awakens his heart to possibilities. Penniless and homeless, he knows the most honorable thing he can do is head on down the road and leave Norah to marry her intended. But walking away from the first person to believe in him proves much harder than he imagined.

Rachel Fordham invites you to experience the strength and beauty of love forged in the crucible of hardship in this heartwarming story.

The small band on her ring finger glistened in the sunlight as Norah King walked the family land she had nearly lost.

Friday 56

He swayed.  She tried to catch him, but he was so large.  He collapsed, hitting his head as he went down.

My thoughts so far

Enjoying both main characters so far.  Feeling there is lots that will happen in this story.
