BOOK BEGINNINGS ON FRIDAYS

The Sun's Shadow by Sejal Badani

Thank you for joining me for Book Beginnings on Fridays. Please share the opening sentence (or so) of the book you are reading this week. You can also share from a book that caught your fancy, even if you are not reading it right now.

MY BOOK BEGINNING

I lean over the saddle, my body aligning perfectly with the horse as I prod him to go faster.

-- from The Sun's Shadow by Sejal Badani.

I really enjoyed Sejal Badani’s earlier book, The Storyteller’s Secret (see my Book Beginnings post for that one), so am excited to read her new one, The Sun’s Shadow. It sounds like a family story with a hint of domestic suspense.

  

See the Publisher's Description below for more details. What do you think?

THE FRIDAY 56

The Friday 56 is a natural tie-in with Book Beginnings. The idea is to share a two-sentence teaser from page 56 of your featured book. If you are reading an ebook or audiobook, find your teaser from the 56% mark.

Freda at Freda's Voice started and hosted The Friday 56 for a long, long time. She is taking a break and Anne at My Head is Full of Books has taken on hosting duties in her absence. Please visit Anne's blog and link to your Friday 56 post.

MY FRIDAY 56

-- from The Sun's Shadow:

Unsure of my destination, I navigate the empty streets in the dark. I stare at the stars in the open sky, wondering if what lies past them holds the solution to what is happening to my son.

FROM THE PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION

Celine’s life is spiraling out of control. She’s in danger of losing the beloved equestrian farm that was her childhood home. Her distant husband, Eric, is devoting a suspicious amount of time to a stunning new colleague. Then her young son, Brian, receives a devastating cancer diagnosis. As her life falls apart, she faces an impossible fight

Felicity has uprooted her career and her teenage son, Justin, to get closer to Eric. She’s tired of keeping his secrets―that Eric’s frequent “business trips” have been time spent with her and Justin. Felicity is determined to get her happily ever after, even if it means confronting Celine at a delicate time.

But when Brian’s prognosis worsens, and a transplant from Justin becomes his best chance at survival, Felicity must make a wrenching decision about her son’s well-being―and Celine must accept that the “other woman” is her only hope.

In another life Celine and Felicity might have been friends. Can they put aside the pain between them to do what’s best for their families―and their own futures?
