Teaser Tuesdays

Teaser Tuesdays asks you to:

Grab your current read.
Let the book fall open to a reandom page.
Share with us two (2) 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!

My two teasers are from page 138 in the novel MUDBOUND by Hillary Jordan, a wonderfully written story of post-WWII in the Mississippi delta.


You couldn't help but watch him; he had that kind of force. He glanced over at me curiously and I realized he's caught me staring.


This from Laura McAllen, the wife of a cotton farm owner, at seeing a colored man in an Army Sargeants uniform, which was unheard of in Mississippi at the time.
