If anyone knows, please tell me. The book opens at a viewing in contemporary times. The woman who died was very selfish in life and gets a chance at redemption by helping a woman in the 19th century find love. The opening talks about how good the main character looks in her coffin with her fake breasts standing at attention. I wish I could remember exactly how it went.Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-28961769467989451792013-05-21T08:47:00.730-04:002013-05-21T08:47:00.730-04:00Thanks for another round of memorable first lines!...Thanks for another round of memorable first lines! One of my favorites has always been from one of Deborah Smith's books, "When Venus Fell": 'By the time Gib Cameron found us, my sister and I were failed southern belles who could no longer count on the kindness of strangers.' It remains one of my all time favorite books:)Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18430750954598484156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-34212684733519441922013-05-21T07:54:06.529-04:002013-05-21T07:54:06.529-04:00Thanks for sharing.
