Book Beginnings: February 3, 2011


This meme is hosted by Katy at A Few More Pages

I am reading The Girl Who Fell From the Sky by Heidi Durrow for one of my book groups. The description on the back sounds so good!



"'You my lucky piece,' Grandma says. Grandma has waked me the half block from the hospital lobby to the bus stop.Her hand is wrapped around mine like a leash."

The opening line and page also intrigued all of us; Durrow seems to have a way with words.
