The Castle Keepers by Aimie K. Runyan; J'nell Ciesielski; Rachel McMillan

 

"Leedswick Castle has housed the Alnwick family in the English countryside for generations, despite a family curse determined to destroy their legacy and erase them from history."

Three generations of a family in a castle in Northumberland. The male heirs bring in entirely different women to the castle. Each such uniquely different relationships but all responsible for the castle through the years, which is in different states of repair and upkeep.  Each generation going through unique personal circumstances. Interesting, intriguing book.

The Librarian of Boone's Hollow by Kim Vogel Sawyer

 

“It’s a bit unnerving making a trek to an unknown place, where everyone is a stranger.”

Kentucky 1856, Depression Era. Addie was at college, getting ready for her final exams when she's told that she can't continue, because her parents hadn't paid the bill. Quite a shock. She had to find a job. She had a part time job in a library and learned of a program that President Roosevelt started, bringing books to the poor people. There was an opening in Boone's Hollow delivering books and it paid very well. She was afraid but was left little choice. It turned out to be the hometown of a fellow college student that she briefly met recently. He was looking for work too. Deeply moving story of these two and the people of Black Mountain. Superstition, old grudges and ignorance were a hallmark of this small backwoods town, where everyone knew everyone else, back for generations. Beautiful story of God's love and Grace. You thoroughly get to know these people, true to life. Where it seemed hopeless, God's love and light shown in.

Wingspan by Heather Trim

I have just loved loved loved this series! I get totally involved and "feel" each of the characters. This is a make-believe land, but there are some similarities to our world. The idea that a huge rock is floating in the sky like a cloud and has people living on it is amazing. Not to mention that they have wings. And dragons. Yeah! dragons! They have some needs and conflicts with the people on the ground whose reasons have gotten buried and forgotten over the years, and evolved into a whole new thing. This book brings it all together, uniting generations from each race. Extremely entertaining and get lost in read. Loved it!!
