I like it, Liz. Good opening. I love books that start with a little insight into the main character, and you’ve certainly done it in a few sentences. Personally as a reader, if I can’t get a sense of the main character, or the mood of the main character in the first few pages, I quickly lose interest. That is unless the story is opening with an action that is central to the story (like Dan Brown).
