This is from the current book I'm reading...
First Chapter... .
Savage Wells, Wyoming
Territory, 1876
Miriam Bricks sat in the cramped and rancid interior of a rickety stagecoach and contemplated for the hundredth time how fortunate she was to be there. In many ways, being pressed between two passengers - one of whom clearly hadn't bathed in months, perhaps years, and neither of whom had stopped arguing since embarking that morning - was still an improvement over her previous circumstances.
Teaser...
Beyond her independence, she had a new job in a new town where no one had any idea about her past.
What do you think? Would you keep reading?
New to me title, not a time period I enjoy typically. I hope this is a winner for you.

Well, if being in the position she's is rates as improvement, I'd say she's been in a bad spot. Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteNow I want to know what her previous circumstances were, since currently she seems to be in an unpleasant situation. LOL. Thanks for sharing. Here's mine: “DON’T WAKE UP”
ReplyDeleteI'd read on. Wondering what she's been through. My Teaser
ReplyDeleteThis is a genre I usually don't read, though I admit, this has potential. My post is here: https://francebooktours.com/2019/02/19/first-chapter-first-paragraph-are-we-french-yet/
ReplyDeleteSounds like she is off on a new start. I would keep reading.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a time period I usually read, but it sounds interesting. See what Susan featured at Girl Who Reads
