First Line Friday ~ Hope Between the Pages

Award-winning author Pepper Basham is dipping her pen into dual-time with Hope Between the Pages.


About the Book 

Uncover the Story Behind a One-Hundred-Year-Old Love Letter

Walk through Doors to the Past via a new series of historical stories of romance and adventure.

Clara Blackwell helps her mother manage a struggling one-hundred-year old family bookshop in Asheville, North Carolina, but the discovery of a forgotten letter opens a mystery of a long-lost romance and undiscovered inheritance which could save its future. Forced to step outside of her predictable world, Clara embarks on an adventure with only the name Oliver as a hint of the man’s identity in her great-great-grandmother’s letter. From the nearby grand estate of the Vanderbilts, to a hamlet in Derbyshire, England, Clara seeks to uncover truth about family and love that may lead to her own unexpected romance.


Expected publication date is April 1.

      I LOVE Derbyshire, but the description is an old one. Barbour is supposed to be updating it. I have so many books that take place in Derbyshire, I switched this one to the Lake District

      Pepper, I'm so sorry I didn't realize the description is not the correct one. It was on Goodreads. Is there another one somewhere?

    Can’t wait to read Pepper’s book. I just finished the first of this series.

    My first line comes from Dreams of Savannah by Roseanna White:
    Savannah, Georgia May 1861
    Cordeliia Owens had dreamed of this day a hundred times. This moment. This story just waiting to happen

      Paula, I know you're going to love this one!!! Pepper has really upped the bar with this one. :-)

      I've heard really great things about Dreams of Savannah. I didn't want to get overwhelmed at the start of the new year so I didn't sign up but I'm hoping at some point I'll be able to snag a copy to read.
