Now on to this week’s sentence for THE MOONSHINER’S DAUGHTER. (December 31, 2019, Kensington)
***************
This week’s sentence would be a spoiler if I put it in here in its entirety, so I’m going to have to eliminate some words! Shoot. But! I’d rather do that than ruin any part of the story for you.
Last week you learned a little bit about Oral Sasser, Jessie’s first cousin. This week, I’ll tell you a bit about more about Mrs. Brewer, the school nurse who has been keeping an eye on Jessie and trying to help her while trying not to seem like she is. Mrs. Brewer’s name suits her. She does something called “pulling leaves.” This is when she goes out and gathers various leaves from herbal plants she recognizes, dries them, and then crushes them to make various teas. She’s always handing Jessie a little packet, telling her to “bile it,” and “drink it.”
Slowly, Jessie learns this somewhat cranky, yet kind older woman is only looking out for her best interest. What she will also discover is Mrs. Brewer has a trick or two up her sleeve, and one in particular doesn’t set quite right with her – at first.
Chapter 18
Uncle Virgil said Oral had been struck dumb, but after seeing Mrs. Brewer’s ******************, I fit that description.

I am very happy I got introduced to you as a new Author last month and am very excited to read your books

Hmmmm…something fishy is brewing…..
Excited to read this book!

Fun to learn words used I have never heard before!
I hope that you are safe and dry this morning. I watched the radar as the rain bands headed in your direction.
I love how you pull the lore of the mountains into your books to give background to your world building. It adds a lot.
You know that I will buy it, so I am not going to say a word about wanting to win it. I’m not sure my idea of a review would do much more than make you scratch you head anywho.
Yes, it worked out better than expected for sure. Like Florence, (12″ of rain with that storm) we had only about 4″ and the wind didn’t knock out the power – hallelujah. Much to be grateful for.
Thank you for your kind words on the writing – see, that would work as a review! And I wasn’t scratching my head! 😉
“make her concoctions with kind eyes and caring ways” Thank you for the chance! Loved and sharing! ????????????
Yep, I’d love to read this book.
