Hopefully ever after / by Wiseman, Beth,1962-author.;
"In the third and final novel of Beth Wiseman's Amish Bookstore series, two young people must find the courage to defy expectations and become who they're meant to be. Sixteen-year-old Eden Hale doesn't want to be defined by her current circumstances. Her mother is in prison, she doesn't know her father, and she's had her own run-ins with the law, but Eden refuses to become what people expect. When she is sent to live with an Amish cousin she's never met in Montgomery, Indiana, she welcomes the chance to become the person she wants to be without the burden of anyone's judgment. Her hopes are confirmed when she meets Samuel, a young Amish man who seems to like her for who she really is. Samuel Byler has grown up with strict Amish parents, and they aren't happy that their only son is choosing to spend his free time with an outsider. As Eden and Samuel grow closer, assumptions close in around the young couple. It isn't long before Eden starts to doubt herself and wonders if she is doomed to follow in her mother's footsteps, whether she wants to or not. Meanwhile, Samuel finds himself slipping further and further from his faith--to Eden's dismay. Both Eden and Samuel's futures hang in the balance as they face decisions about who they are--both as individuals and together"--

The Mayfair bookshop : a novel of Nancy Mitford and the pursuit of happiness / by Knight, Eliza,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."1938: She was one of the six sparkling Mitford sisters, known for her stinging quips, stylish dress, and bright green eyes. But Nancy Mitford's seemingly dazzling life was really one of turmoil: with a perpetually unfaithful and broke husband, two Nazi sympathizer sisters, and her hopes of motherhood dashed forever. With war imminent, Nancy finds respite by taking a job at the Heywood Hill Bookshop in Mayfair, hoping to make ends meet, and discovers a new life. Present Day: When book curator Lucy St. Clair lands a gig working at Heywood Hill she can't get on the plane fast enough. Not only can she start the healing process from the loss of her mother, it's a dream come true to set foot in the legendary store. Doubly exciting: she brings with her a first edition of Nancy's work, one with a somewhat mysterious inscription from the author. Soon, she discovers her life and Nancy's are intertwined, and it all comes back to the little London bookshop--a place that changes the lives of two women from different eras in the most surprising ways."--
