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 My Head is Full of Books 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. First Line Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Reading is my Superpower that asks you to share the first sentence of the book you're reading.
I have discovered Liz Tolsma a few years ago and since then enjoyed her detailed historical fiction with characters who leaves an impact.
What I Promise You
About the book:
A Family’s History Is Lost to the Ravages of WWII in Southwest France 1942 Noémie Treves, a young, pregnant Jewish woman, had her entire world shattered when she is arrested and taken to the Camp de Rivesaltes transit camp in Southwest France. No sooner does she arrive, though, than she assists in helping two young girls scheduled for transport escape to a nearby maternity hospital. The matron there befriends her and changes her name to help hide her. But nothing goes according to plan, and Hannah finds herself doing the unimaginable to save one precious life. 2022 Caitlyn Laurant is haunted by recent events in her life and hopes becoming a nurse on the mission field will help her forget. While in training, she and her friends travel to France where her grandfather was born. What should have been an easy search for his birthplace turns into anything but and reveals secrets that no one alive has ever heard. Don't miss the Echoes of the Past Series Book 1 - What I Would Tell You

So many things seem to keep me from reading faster these days. Sleep is only one of them, LOL! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love that opening. If walls could talk . . . I hope you continue to enjoy What I Promise You. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am very intrigued by this plot. Is it too heartbreaking, though?
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently reading The Holiday Stand-In by Kortney Keisel. It's really cute so far!

I hope you have a great weekend full of fun reading. 🙂📚
Sounds like an emotional read. I always find books featuring any sort of War emotional and so don't generally go for them. I do feel like I am missing out sometimes though so have signed up to a Blog Tour for a book set in World War 2.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
