MY BOOK BEGINNING
Minutes after noon, as Aiden McBride rummaged through saddlebags for a bite of grease-soaked biscuit to welcome midday, the big bay horse beneath him startled and froze.Light of the Northern Dancers by Robin F. Gainey. This book of historical fiction tells the exciting and romantic story of Eden Rose, a Scottish aristocrat struggling to survive on her Wyoming ranch. When her no-good husband abandons Rose and her brother disappears into the Bighorn mountains, Rose turns to help from her best friend, Maddie True, and a Lakota holy man.

TIE IN: The Friday 56 hosted by Freda's Voice is a natural tie in with this event and there is a lot of cross over, so many people combine the two. The idea is to post a teaser from page 56 of the book you are reading and share a link to your post. Find details and the Linky for your Friday 56 post on Freda’s Voice.

ReplyDeleteInteresting that the first line doesn't introduce the main character.
Lovely blurb and beginning. Happy weekend to you.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy historical fiction, but I so rarely read it in this particular setting unless it's over in Europe. I'm not sure why . . . This sounds like a good one, Gillion. I will have to give it a try!
