TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:Grab your current read.
Let the book fall open to a random page.
Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
Here's mine:
We lost her for a few seconds while she gazed into the eyes of the doll, as little girls sometimes do. After a few more strokes [of the doll's hair], Melissa took the doll's arm between her fingers and made it wave to us.

Very sweet-and I'm glad you clarified exactly what was being stroked, it made much more sense.
Somehow this sounds a bit creepy to me. Am I completely out to lunch?
My teasers are here.
avisannschild,
No, you are correct with your hunch. This is excerpted from a wrenching interview with an eight yr old girl who has been sexually assaulted.
Cheryl, thanks for stopping by.
The title sounds like it could be a hard book to read.
You've got some serious subjects - in your Teaser and your To Read titles. Your Teaser was heart wrenching to me - don't think I could get through it. I highly recommend The Diving Bell & The Butterfly - surprisingly uplifting I found. My Teaser is here...
Hi Sherry, I've read this book before but I don't remember much of it. I remembered thinking how coincidental it was that someone whose name was Parent would be working with kids.
