Welcome to The Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice.
This is a really fun meme!
The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader and find a sentence or a few (no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.
Then go over to Freda’s Voice and leave your link so we can visit your 56!
My 56 for this week is from:
Silver Threads
The Memory House Series #5
by Bette Lee Crosby
Genre: Contemporary Fiction
My 56 from the eBook.
…Drew began to see them side by side. Mother and daughter. Alike in a thousand different ways. Until recently.

Read on if you want to know more.
Synopsis
High above the clouds in a place no mortal has ever seen, there is a Scale of Life that is held in balance with stones of happiness and sorrow. The Keeper of the Scales sees impending disaster for Drew Bishop and heaves a huge sigh. He places a rose-colored stone on the happiness side of Drew’s scale, but it is not enough. The danger is too great. When Drew Bishop’s wife is killed in a random act of violence, he is left with a traumatized daughter and a job teetering on the brink of disaster. He believes this is as bad as it can get, but he is wrong. Now the Keeper must scan the vast landscape of lives to find a silver thread to ease Drew’s pain. That is the only chance Drew has for happiness, and the Keeper knows it. He is powerless to do anything else; instead, he can only wait and hope the thread spools into happiness for Drew and his little girl.

It really is. We’ve been reading her books for some years now. I’m behind in this series though and looking forward to more wonderful stories by Bette:)
Sounds interesting. This week I am reading Edited Out by E. J. Copperman. Happy reading!
Bette’s books always are:)
I’ve been noticing this author around, and I am tempted. Thanks for sharing…and here’s mine: “INTO THE WATER”
I hope you give her books a chance. I thought they might be outside my genre preference but learned quickly I was wrong. She writes wonderful stories and her characters are so genuine.
Heard good things about the author so I hope you enjoy it. I totally for got to do my Friday memes today and now I don’t want too…lol. 🙂
I think you’d like her books, Stormi. And you are busy with your class and getting ready for your trip to the Philippines, I can see why you forgot! LOL
I’ve enjoyed other books by this author. This sounds like another story I’d enjoy.
My Friday post features The Secret Wife.
Her books always pull me in and this series is magical, Sandra:)
This one sounds fantastic. I haven’t heard of it before so thanks for mentioning it.
I’m very excited for this one, Breana.
Sounds interesting! I like the whole Keeper thing and wonder just what happens for poor Drew!
My thoughts echo yours!
I have not read anything by this author, I need to rectify this. Thanks for sharing and stopping by my blog

Wondering. I love it when books make me do that:)
I’m intrigued by the justice imagery. While it’s not in my wheelhouse, I’d love to hear your thoughts on it when you’re through.
Between the lovely cover and synopsis, I’m intrigued too. Just now getting into the story and already enjoying it:)
Pretty cover and it sounds interesting too! Great pick!

Bette never fails me with her stories:) My internet was out for a while too. Glad your back!
That cover is amazing and I am very intrigued by the concept of this one. Thanks so much for sharing it. 🙂
I love the cover too and can’t wait to read how it ties into the story!
I like the cover art for this book!
I’ve read many of Bette’s books and I’m sure the story inside will be wonderful too:)
