Current Book Snippet

I haven't updated my bookshelf in a while, so I when I saw this "game" on Megan DiMaria's site, I had to take part. Here's are the rules:

1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages), or whatever book you are currently reading.

2. Open the book to page 123.

3. Find the fifth sentence.

4. Post the next three sentences.

5. Tag five people.

I'm currently reading Someday by Karen Kingsbury. This is book 3 of the Sunset series, which is the third series of Baxter Family Dramas. I didn't want Karen to be one of my favorite authors because there are little things about her writing style that irritate me, but ... well, I have read 13 of her books in the last 3 months, so I guess, in spite of myself, I can't stop reading her work. I just love her characters!! Especially the Baxters. They make me want to move back to Indiana. And I'm getting off track. Back to the game. Here is a snippet from page 123 of Someday.

"Since he hadn't been raised by her, the letter was one of the only pieces of her Dayne would ever have. Ashley had found it in the box of letters i her parents' closet and through it was for Brooke, the only firstborn they'd known up to that point. Instead, Ashley read it and realized it was directed toward a son, a brother she'd never known."

I'm going to tag Heather, Dale, Miranda, Tina and Karen. Of course, you're all invited! If you're not listed here, drop a note in the comments so we can see what you're reading.

Thanks so much for the tag! I've actually already done it here. Except I didn't read the rules right and only did one sentence instead of three.
But it was a really good one sentence.
