Book Beginnings on Friday is now hosted by Rose City Reader. The Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice. Check out the links above for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
Beginning:
On a cloudy afternoon in late May, 1995, eight-year-old Una Waters waited patiently in line beside her parents at the America West terminal of Dallas-Fort Worth International to board their flight.Friday 56:
Una climbed into Jack's car with a pout on her face. It was nearly dusk, and probably too late to venture near the Peaks.This week I am reading A Gleam of Light by T.J. & M.L. Wolf. I got this book for review from the authors. Here is the description from Amazon:
In 1995, at the age of eight, Una Waters survived a terrifying encounter at 30,000 feet aboard Flight 564 from Dallas to Las Vegas. It changed her forever. After 21 years, and a decade away from the Hopi Reservation where she grew up as a child, a surprise plea for help brings Una back, to solve a mystery that threatens their traditional way of life. The U.S. Army's sudden interest regarding a cave discovery in the Sacred Peaks has triggered alarm, leading to violence. With the help of friends, new and old, Una must confront her painful past, seek proof to qualify the ancient site for protection under law, and stand up to a stiff-necked general, whose agenda is more concerned with retrieving a mysterious power source.
This book does sound like a memorable one. Enjoy! Here's mine: “A MOTHER’S CONFESSION”

I'm curious about Una's quest to protect her tribe's ancient site. Sounds like a good story.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting! I wasn't sure based off the cover but with the teasers and the blurb I'm adding this to my TBR!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds very intriguing. And I totally agree about the lavender cookies, but I knew some would enjoy them, and they're pretty! :-) Thank you visiting my blog. I'd love for your readers to do so as well . . . http://tinyurl.com/LisaKsBookReviewsNFW
