Teaser Tuesday - Beyond Molasses Creek

For the miles we've traveled, I have held this package in my hands. I cradle it, unable to open the twine just yet. I am not ready. I will wait for the moment when I can be ready. When the truth of who I am now meets the truth of who I once was. My fingers squeeze and the paper crinkles.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.

Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Wow! Love the bit on 'truth' and the sound of paper crinkling. And I so agree with your tag line about books that got through to us.

I love the writing in your teaser, especially the details--wrapped in twine, crinkling paper. This sounds like a book I'd enjoy.

That is a patience I don't typically find myself having...I'm terrible at keeping packages unopened, even if the contents are unwanted.
