Peek Inside the Book - Before We Were Yours

When I was deciding to come back to the blog I was looking through all the blogging memes that the blogs I read follow. I had done Book Beginnings and The Friday 56 a handful of times, but over at Mixed Book Bag, JC merged them together and I really like that idea.  So borrowing from her I'm going to start linking up to both Book Beginnings on Friday from Rose City Reader and The Friday 56 with Freda's Voice.


This week I'm reading: Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate

It Begins: 

Prelude

Baltimore, Maryland

August 3, 1939

My story beings on a sweltering August night, in a place I will never set eyes upon again.

On Page 56:

"Why ain't you got a mama?" Camellia asks as she finishes the last of a hoecake that's just a little bit burnt on the edges.

Verdict:

This is my book club selection for the month.  I like the social aspect of the book club, so I'm reading the book, but I wasn't thrilled with the synopsis. I just started it and I really like the writing, hopefully it's a good read.
