Today on my blog, I'm sharing the first couple of lines from Molly by Sarah Monzon: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/07/03/first-line-friday-142/. I'm currently on chapter 6, so I will share from there.
"An eighty-hour work week -- that's all the hospital was allowed to work the interns and residents per the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.

Hope you have a great weekend filled with family fun and relaxing reading time. 😀❤📚

Excellent book as always from Ann.
I read this with my students a couple years ago and OMG I loved it so much, even though I cried a lot too. I really loved Becoming Naomi Leon also.
ReplyDeleteI need to read Becoming Naomi Leon.
