Harper Perennial Week Teaser Tuesday Special – Up From the Blue by Susan Henderson

Aug 102010

Grab your current read.

Let the book fall open to a random page.

Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.

You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!

Please avoid spoilers!

Instead of a typical Teaser Tuesday, I want to introduce you to an upcoming Harper Perennial title, “Up From the Blue” by Susan Henderson, which is being released on September 21, 2010.

“Let me try,” she said, but I never felt the comb touch my head, as if she just stood there staring at my hair, not at all sure where to start. After a while, she simply went inside without saying a word. I was glad to have my last moments there to myself, feeling the sun heat the top of my head and imagining how it would be to run to Momma.

-Up From the Blue by Susan Henderson, p. 70 (ARC)

Great teaser! The little girl on the cover is so cute with all her freckles!

HERE is my Teaser Tuesday, from The Miracles of Prato by Laurie Albanese and Laura Morowitz.

Great teaser. Reminds of how I sometimes feel about my daughter’s hair.

Sounds lovely!

My teaser at arch thinking. Unusually for me, it’s nonfiction.
