Happy Hump Day! If you’re already thinking about the weekend ahead, you may need a book, CD, movie, or other material for your leisure time. If that’s the case, the Macedon Public Library can help! Stop by and pick up something interesting to keep you engaged. We will continue to offer “Grab and Go” services for those who prefer to place their books on hold online and then pick them up in the cabinet inside the library.
Here are a few of the new books that have arrived at the library recently. We invite you to check them out!
The Proposal Plot: An Amish of Marigold Novel
It’s been a year since Ella Yoder convinced her father to move with her and her younger sister Junia to Marigold, Ohio, to open E and J Grocery. Nelson Bontranger knows one thing for sure: creating his own artisan deli meats is his passion. Well, maybe one other thing: he’s sworn off women forever. When he eyes his own butcher shop next to E and J Grocery in Marigold, he’s surprised to learn that Ella has had her eye on the property for some time. He doesn’t trust this stubborn, pushy young woman—and for her, the feeling is mutual. They will both need to come to terms with past pain before they can find their future happiness.
Unforgiven
Ex-con Seth Zimmerman has spent the last three years making amends by helping the vulnerable in his former Amish community. Lately, this mission includes calling on Tabitha Yoder, whose divorce from her abusive husband has isolated her from the community. Seth knows she watches him from the window while he chops wood, clears her driveway, and drops off food. An uneasy friendship is just starting to take hold when small gifts begin to appear at Tabitha’s home that can only be from her ex-husband. Seth might be Tabitha’s only hope at maintaining her hard-won freedom. But coming to her rescue might mean he ends up behind bars once again.
The Song of Sourwood Mountain
It is 1910 when Mira Dean’s hopes of being a wife and mother are dashed to pieces. Her fiancé dead from tuberculosis, Mira resigns herself to being a spinster schoolteacher—until Gordon Covington shows up. No longer the boy she knew from school, Gordon is now a preacher who is full of surprises. First, he asks Mira to come to Sourwood in eastern Kentucky to teach at his mission school. Second, he asks her to marry him. With much trepidation, Mira steps out in faith into a life she never imagined, in a place filled with its own special challenges, to serve a people who will end up becoming the family she always dreamed of.
