I live at the base of Crooktop Mountain in the southern Appalachians in what was Cherokee land. My mom is dead, and she never told anyone who my father was. So I live with my religious grandfather and my crazy grandmother. There is nothing to do here; heck, we can't even pick up a good FM radio signal. I'm glad finally to be out of high school. I work at the diner full-time just so I don't have to be at home.

MizB at Should Be Reading hosts Teaser Tuesdays. Here's how it works: Grab your current read; let the book fall open to a random page; and share 2 “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12. For more teasers, click on through to MizB's blog.Nice people were warned that the docks was where a rough crowd hung out. Sometimes that was true, but usually it was just young people doing grown-up things and old people that didn't realize they weren't young anymore. (p. 32)

Oh, your teaser sounds funny and yet a little sad. Young people are always in such a hurry to grow up, and old people want to stay young...
ReplyDeleteInteresting title too! Thanks for sharing!
You set this up very well. I want to know more.

That's kind of a sad commentary, isn't it? Makes me wonder about the context, so it's a very good teaser.
