My Teaser
If You Lived Here, You’d Be Home Now
“That’s kind of how it works with mothers.” She swiveled her chair around to face me. “Kids get scared or they make mistakes and get angry at themselves, and you’re there, you’re always there, so they take it out on you because you’re the only one it’s safe to take it out on.” She leaned forward a little. “Kids need to know that there’s someone there who won’t ever go away or leave them, no matter how horribly they behave. So you give that to your kid.”
This was a good novel, and I really enjoyed reading it. Check out Should Be Reading for more Teaser Tuesday!
I'm a mom with Asperger's raising an amazing son with autism, which means I'm basically the case manager/advocate/cheerleader/chauffeur. The rest of the time, you can usually find me with my nose in a book!

Agreed! My TT: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/11/teaser-tuesdays-outside-the-ordinary-world.html
That was fun! I always like the book things you post. I’ve saved many books to my “to read list” based on things you’ve written! =)
Oh, thank you so much for saying that! Sometimes I am not sure if people want to hear about all the books I’ve read, so I’m glad at least one person finds them interesting, LOL.
Here is my teaser from The Trophy Bride’s Tale by Cyrilla Barr (page 1):
I have never seen an execution! I am terrified & tremble uncontrollably now as I stand on the fringes of restless crowd desperately hoping that no one will notice me in my shabby pilgrim’s weeds. At that I saw his face break into a warm smile and I knew I had at last reached safer ground.Here is my teaser from The Trophy Bride’s Tale by Cyrilla Barr (page 1):
