When Marble Ray Ranson starts the Little Library Box Club in town, she's hopeful that all the members will enjoy sharing books with their neighbors; however when one of the members of the group texts that she is giving away a book worth four thousand dollars to one of the box owners, everyone is hopeful it will be their box. But, when Marble finds a young man on her front lawn, by her box, bashed over the head with her garden gnome, she takes it upon herself to interview every member of the club, hoping to clear them all before anyone is accused of attempted murder.

If you love to get or give books in Little Library Boxes, this story is for you.

Kindly Penned: A Small Town Love Story Between A Widow And The Mail Man

This blog post is part of our series on books about Little Free Libraries

Kindly Penned: A Small Town Love Story Between A Widow And The Mail Man

by Susanne Ash

He’s loved her from afar. She’s sure her story ended years ago. But one note changes everything.

Widowed high school English teacher Clara Langford isn’t looking for love. Her life in Juniper Falls is quiet and predictable. Just the way she likes it. Between lesson plans, tea with friends, and her little free library out front, she has everything she needs.

Or so she tells herself.

Until a book appears in her library, with a handwritten note tucked inside. Thoughtful. Kind. Signed only, “M.”

Micah Brooks has always preferred the quiet things in life. Early mornings, long walks, and the woman who doesn’t know he exists. The town’s dependable mail carrier, Micah has watched Clara from afar for years. But when he leaves behind one anonymous note, he doesn’t expect her to write back.

What begins as a slow exchange of favorite books and handwritten words turns into something deeper. But when the truth comes out, will the woman who’s always believed in stories be willing to start a new chapter?

A slow-burn, small-town romance between a widow and a mail man with heartfelt notes, healing hearts, and the softest kind of love.

It is part of the Alphabet Sweetheart series, twenty-six sweet romances set in Juniper Falls.
