First Chapter ~ First Paragraph

  It's Tuesday . . . time for . . . 



. . . First Chapter ~ First Paragraph Tuesday Intros . . . now hosted by Yvonne at Socrates' Book Reviews, where bloggers share excerpts from a book they have read, are currently reading, or are planning to read.
 

Today I'm featuring an upcoming read, The Downstairs Neighbor by Helen Cooper. The excerpt shared is from a trade paperback borrowed from the library.



First Chapter: Emma

If it hadn't been for a disruptive hamster and three nights of insomnia, Emma might not have found herself crouched in her understairs cupboard that night. She might not have heard the fear-pinched voice from overhead.

 

What do you think?  Would you continue reading? 

That's an ominous beginning that makes me want to continue reading.

  6. You first need to determine the level of expertise you want the employee to have before you can seek an agency. If you need a Home Healthcare Services in Delhi provider who can provide assistance to a person recovering from a painful fracture or a broken bone, you will need someone with a valid medical certificate. You should make sure that the services you have selected can fulfill the given condition of your particular situation.
