Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by Should Be Reading. This week's teaser is from Dead End Gene Pool by Wendy Burden. I was given this book for a blog event later on today.
This is said by Wendy's mother to her when she is a child: "'The sooner you figure out how to deal with being a female in your father's family, the better.' I'd admired her covertly as she'd cinched a wide calfskin belt over her narrow black sheath, yanking it into an extra hole with a slight grunt. Her waist was smaller than mine and she made sure I knew it." (11)
