Teaser Tuesdays / It's Tuesday...Where Are You?


TEASER TUESDAYS asks you to:
Grab your current read.
Let the book fall open to a random page.
Share with us 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!
Please avoid spoilers!




"It's a turnaround," said Alex, as if in wonder.
"The hell it is," said Billy. "It's a dead-end."
p.58 ~ The Turnaround by George Pelecanos

I'm in the D.C. area where I still live even though something that happened during my teens changed my life forever. It's been over 35 years and I still haven't healed. Can I forgive and make peace with the boys (now men) who put my life on a detour?
