Wonderland Creek by Lynn Austin

5What it’s about: During the Great Depression, Alice Ripley has spent her 22 years with her nose in a book. When her boyfriend breaks up with her and she loses her job, she decides to take donated books from her hometown of Blue Island down to Acorn, Kentucky, for the Packhorse Librarians. Thinking to stay only a few days, Alice gets caught up in the lives of the library staff and patrons and realizes that she has hardly lived at all before.

Why you might like it: This is a Christian historical novel with a heartwarming coming of age story. There are elements of romance as well.

You might also like: The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes is another book about the Packhorse Librarians of the Great Depression. Prayers for Sale by Sandra Dallas is about friendship between an older and younger woman.
