Classy Quotes Wednesday–Leif Enger

If you’ve never read Peace Like a River by Leif Enger, I hope you put it on your TBR list. Not only does he sport a very VIKING name (hee), he’s also an author with a knack for beautiful turns of phrase. Today, I’m quoting a little something from Peace Like a River that I’d scrawled in one of my numerous notebooks. Enjoy!
“Hope is like yeast, you know, rising under warmth.”

****Do you agree with this quote? Why or why not?****

    What a quote. Love it. And LOVE the book…it's been too many years since I read it. Pretty sure I'm due for a re-read. 🙂

    Beth, I hate to say I hardly remember it, but I do vaguely remember it didn't wrap up the way I wanted it to!

    I loved the book, and I love the quote too. Hope grows when it is encouraged.

Had a wonderful time this weekend speaking on an a Had a wonderful time this weekend speaking on an author panel @bjuedu with authors Jamie Langston Turner and Emily Golus (@worldofvindor) with @inkwellmagazine. What a wealth of experience these talented authors brought to the table for the guests and writers who attended! Also met author @louannkeisereditor, who was a delight to speak with. Then got to hang out with my lifelong friend @rachelcohee and her husband and daughter and brunch @grandbohemianlodgegreenville at the Between the Trees restaurant. Then capped things off at a bookstore that was hopping! What a much-needed time of relaxation with my husband, who graciously schleps my book boxes and takes event photos for me!📚#authorlife #wvauthor
