Pearl Girls – Teaser Tuesdays


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 & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

This excerpt is taken from Kristin Billerbeck’s, “I Just Don’t Fit In” essay:

“Cliques are a part of our culture, whether we are in junior high school or the upper echelons of Manhattan society. Human Society is a fickle thing.”

~Page 104 Pearl Girls: Encountering Grit, Experiencing Grace, compiled by Margaret McSweeney

    Sorry, but I'm not familiar with the book so I can't tell whether this is fiction or non-fiction. Sounds rather true.

  5. A need for all women to fit in. Good tease.

    your teaer is so true as a Mum to two girls I feel their pain everytime their fickle society does a backflip and they find they're not in Kansas any more.

  14. From "The Cure" by Geeta Anand
    p. 87

    "The next morning, as John left for work at 6:45, he reminded Aileen to call the nursing agency to complain about the drunken nurse and ask for a replacement."
