Welcome to The Lantern Library Society, where faith, books, and second chances travel together… and where every woman who takes the lantern finds far more than she came looking for.

When Josephine Hamilton—the frontier’s most determined traveling librarian—realizes she can’t deliver books and hope to every dusty town alone, she does the unthinkable: she hires help.

But the young women who answer her ad aren’t looking for a job. They’re looking for a life worth living.

Armed with a wagon full of books, a well-worn Bible, and one of Miss Ham’s signature lanterns, each new hire is sent to a remote town that’s requested library service. What they find is never what they expected: rough communities, impossible men, and a calling that asks more of them than they knew they had to give.

Miss Ham promised them steady work.

She never promised them easy.

And she certainly never promised them love—though it has a stubborn habit of showing up between the pages.

Each standalone novel in the Lantern Library Society series features a new heroine, a new town, and a new love story—with Josephine Hamilton as the witty, meddling thread that ties them all together.
