My Current Read:
"Heart in Hand" by Barbara Cameron
The Book Beginning:
"It felt like dawn would never come."
My Thoughts:
Been there!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The 56th Page:
"When Anna showed me the thimble, I recognized it," he said, opening the little wicker sewing basket. From it he withdrew the thimble and held it out to her."
My Thoughts:
The "he" is Gideon and he's talking to his daughter who had stolen a thimble that reminded her of her deceased mother's thimble. He had been saving his wife's sewing basket for his daughter until she was older but decided to give it to her then so that she could have the reminders of good memories. It was quite a touching scene.
Sounds like a nice and sentimental read. Thanks for sharing...and here's MY FRIDAY MEMES POST
