Mountain Laurel
September 1793
At the creek that marked the boundary of his uncle’s plantation, Ian Cameron paused his horse. The creek’s water ran clear, chattering over a pebbled bed, no more than ankle-deep, yet for all his balking to cross it, it might have been the Red Sea.
Okay, you caught me. I just couldn’t help myself, I had to give you more than the first line. I do hope that you get the opportunity to read this wonderful book soon. It really is a true delight!

I’m sharing the first line from Huckleberry Hill by Jennifer Beckstrand on my blog today: “Anna Helmuth eased herself into the wooden rocker where she once cuddled each of her thirteen babies and took up her needles.” I hope you have a nice weekend! 🙂
