Teaser Tuesday - And the Whippoorwill Sang

My two sentences today are from And The Whippoorwill Sang, a true story of a family whose teenage daughter was killed by a drunk driver. The majority of the book is the family's history, beginning with the parents' marriage. Although this touching story is sobering and could have been depressing, instead the family's love shines through the pages.

When I reach the cubicle in the emergency room and pull back the gray curtain, I lose all remaining sense of reality. This cannot be the child who had run out my front door only an hour ago, too excited to give me a kiss goodbye, calling out, "Bye, Mom."

From author Micki Peluso's blog: I have recently released my first book, a memoir, about my daughter's death ... AND THE WHIPPOORWILL SANG. It's a funny, poignant celebration of her life more than a eulogy of her death.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away -- you don't want to ruin the book for others)
• Share the title and author too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers.
