First Line Friday - A Tale of Two Hearts

Happy Friday! And Happy Birthday to ME!

In celebration of my birthday weekend, I am going to start sharing the first lines of the books I got at CFRR 2017 a couple weeks ago. This first one is a novella collection published by Barbour. I adore these collections. I have said it a hundred times. They posses such a variety of styles and characters. It is a chance to experience different authors and get a taste of a different genre perhaps, or time period. LOVE. This collection is titled Of Rags and Riches Romance Collection: Nine Stories of Poverty and Opulence during the Gilded Age. If you know me at all, you know I adore the Gilded Age. Author Gabrielle Meyer was at CFRR and I was honored to see her again and was able to have her sign my book. And I am sharing the first line from her novella in this collection titled A Tale of Two Hearts.

Little Falls, Minnesota

May 20, 1899

The countryside sped by as Elijah Boyer pushed the Duryea Motor Wagon to twenty-five miles per hour. Beside him, Frederick Alexander held his hat with one hand and a stopwatch with the other.
