Today's Read: Between Me and the River by Carrie Host
I'm forty years old, and I have just heard the words that no one ever wants to hear. I'm in a fog but I make out cancer and surgery and immediately. I have three kids; one isn't even a year old yet. I thought I was still recovering from having given birth. Then I thought my pain was Chron's disease. And then I thought I had an ovarian cyst. And then I heard that word . . .

I sit in stunned silence on the examining table as the door shuts behind [the doctor]. I get dressed and leave. I am outraged. As plain as that, I am dismissed along with my case and my apparently unimportant results from Mayo Clinic. (pp. 34-35)—From Between Me and the River by Carrie Host

Fantastic teaser, I'm completely intrigued, sounds like it may be a sad read but it's going on my wishlist.
Here's my Teaser
Very powerful! I am 40 with 3 kids.....this will be headed to the top of my queue.

Great teaser. I have this book in my TBR too and your teaser has made me want to pick it immediately instead of a week later :)
Great teaser! As she was dismissed, can we assume that she received some good news?
Here's my Teaser! ~ Wendi
Hi Beth,

Beth ...this is a great teaser and looks like a good buck. Unfortunately, so many people I know have been touched by cancer within the last year, that I could not handle it right now...Cancer is my biggest fear :(
Whoa, that is not right. I wonder what happens next. Good teaser!
Here's mine
What a teaser! This is much worse than crime.
I'm reading this book also. Sometimes it's hard to read but a nicely written true story. I look forward to your thoughts on it.
Sounds like a good book! On a side note, I am in love with your header picture!
Thanks, Brenda -- me too! I took that photo in Brugge in 2008.
Wow, this sounds like a book I would read, it sounds like it is filled with a lot of emotion! Great teaser.
Powerful!
That sounds very emotional. I've lost a number of friends to cancer and it's never an easy diagnosis to hear. Thanks for posting it.
My teaser is here.
I dnt know.. i hate to hear abt cancer :((
yikes

Wow! That's pretty powerful!
I'll be hosting this author in October so when I saw your post, I'm totally excited. Great teaser!
