FIRST LINE FRIDAY – SNEAKERS AT THE COTILLION by ROBIN E. MASON

THE BOOK

* because my writing has been on (unintentional) hiatus, and I’m diving back into my current WIP, starting the year focused on my books

THE BLURB

You can dance in sneakers but you can’t run in heels.

As opposite as two people can be. Hot and cold. Left and right. Night and day. Except that they’re sisters. Twin sisters at that.

Claire Baxter was everything their mother expected of her. Of them both. A proper lady, polished, stylish, elegant. Well almost everything their mother expected of her.

Paige was the rebel. Athletic, competitive, couldn’t care less about hair and make-up. The only thing she liked about dancing was that it was a great cardio workout. Even ballroom dancing.

When Paige is attacked on her favorite jogging trail it sends a ripple through the family. Upends her mother’s closely guarded world. Fractures their already splintered family.

With Claire by her side, Paige struggles through the healing process. But will anything ever heal their family? Will their mother ever accept them back in her home?

NOTE: This story deals with issues—rape and physical violence, and racial discrimination—that might be difficult for some readers.

THE FIRST LINE

Mother always did like Claire better than me.

THE AUTHOR

“I’ve always had voices—er, stories in my head. I once said I should write them all down so someone could write them someday. I had no idea at the time that someone was me!”

My stories are deep and dark, my characters raw and real, with a healthy helping of hope and joy, humor and laughter, and abiding and sustaining faith.

There is a strong element of friends, family, and faith in all my stories, and the difference it makes to have such a support system.

My characters struggle in some way for their identity. Their stories are their journey to know who God created them to be.

“There is freedom waiting for you on the breezes of the sky. And you ask, What if I fall? Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?” —Erin Hanson
