But I'm currently reading Piercehaven by Robin Merrill, which is kind of a girls basketball version of Friday Night Lights, except set on an island off the coast of Maine. Here's the first line:<br /><br />She had expected it to be a poetic voyage. She had expected sunshine and whitecaps, a sea song to serenade her as she sailed toward her new home.Iolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199141868703826943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2783682009179727009.post-57517117402638157612017-11-17T20:24:07.785-05:002017-11-17T20:24:07.785-05:00I'm featuring Mail Order Mommy on my blog.
