Beauty Unexpected

Chapter One — selected excerpt

Chapter One

Sophie was tired of flying.

Her trip to Bristol, Tennessee, the little city where she was going to find herself for the next few months, took quite the effort. She had started her journey from Shannon Airport in Ireland and then landed after a long flight at Nashville International Airport. She finally had to take a flight to Tri-Cities Airport, which was the closest destination that she could find to Bristol. This experience was frustrating, and she realized that flying was not an activity that she was likely to enjoy. Then again, she didn't do it often.
