SynopsisHappily-ever-after librarian Alice Ripley unexpectedly finds herself in a real-life adventure filled with mystery and romance in the 1930's as she serves rural communities., Lynn Austin Will Delight Readers with Her Winsome HeroineAlice Grace Ripley lives in a dream world, her nose stuck in a book. But happily-ever-after life she's planned on suddenly falls apart when her boyfriend, Gordon, breaks up with her, accusing her of living in a world of fiction instead of the real world. Then to top it off, Alice loses her beloved job at the library because of cutbacks due to the Great Depression.Fleeing small-town gossip, Alice heads to the mountains of eastern Kentucky to deliver five boxes of donated books to the library in the tiny coal-mining village of Acorn. Dropped off by her relatives, Alice volunteers to stay for two weeks to help the librarian, Leslie McDougal.But the librarian turns out to be far different than she anticipated--not to mention the four lady librarians who travel to the remote homes to deliver the much-desired books. While Alice is trapped in Acorn against her will, she soon finds that real-life adventure and mystery--and especially romance--are far better than her humble dreams could have imagined.

Starts out slow but ends up great.
I love Lynn Austin and have read almost everything she’s written. (The rest is on order.). It started out slow and after about a third, I debated whether to finish it or not. Glad I did. The rest of it was great and I loved the ending. I’m keeping this one and might donate avout 1/3 to the library (lack of book space or I’d keep them all.)

This was an excellent title. Keeps you wondering at what will happen in the end,
I loved this book. Kept you reading and gave you a look at part of history that I was not totally aware of.

This is one of my favorite books because it includes romance, mysteries, and adventure! I was very impressed because my package got here before the date it said it would arrive. Overall, I enjoy this book very much!
