First Lines Friday

First Lines Friday is a bookish meme hosted by Literary Marie. I encourage all of my fellow book bloggers and bookhearts to play along.

• Grab your current read(s).
• Share the first line(s).
• Include the title and author.

"When it's all over all that counts is how the story's told. So write my name down, write my aim down. To do this my way and carve my own lane out."
