First Chapter, First Paragraph Tuesday Time!

Linking with http://bibliophilebythesea.blogspot.com/ for First Paragraph Tuesday....

My book for today is The Threadbare Heart by Jennie Nash....




Love was the one thing Lily always thought she did better than her mother.  She believed that she knew exactly what love took, what it cost, and what it meant, and she thought of her long marriage to Tom as proof of it.  But in the short period of time between Christmas and the start of fire season, everything she understood about love unraveled, the way jeans do at the hem, the way tweed does so that it reveals the intricate relationship of the warp and the weft, and she realized how very little she knew about the way love worked.  People naturally assumed, after everything that happened, that it was a bitter revelation, but they were wrong.

So...do you want to grab this book and find out more?

Not sure Linda, I tend to think this one would not be for me. Hope you enjoy it though.

I've heard great things about this author, and I love the cover--it has a soft welcoming feeling.

The intro interests me. I would definitely keep reading. I love the analogy about the hem of jeans unraveling.
