When she was a girl, Faith Zook had dreamed of living in the city. But when she married a lifelong city dweller, the city shocked her. Rats on the doorstep. Drug dealers next door. The high cost of living. Stares and odd questions. Her growing family brought more challenges—child training without privacy, finding chores for the children, reaching out to neighbors while protecting the family. Having noisy neighbors... being noisy neighbors.
However, Faith found unexpected opportunities—and unexpected joy. Neighbors came for supper, asked for her advice, and offered help and baby clothes. There were educational events for her homeschooled children and jobs for her teenagers. Now, she wouldn't want to raise her family anywhere else.
Pilgrims in the Library is packed with stories from twenty years of city living. Faith encourages other mothers, whether urban or rural, to find joy and fulfillment serving the Lord in their own setting.

This book is based on the childhood of Sarah Pauls (Durksen), Sharon Schnupp Kuepfer's maternal grandmother. Sharon grew up hearing her mother, Clara Durksen Schnupp, tell many stories of Christian faith and love from her heritage. In writing this book, several family histories that had been preserved were helpful in making stories about Sarah come alive. Sharon longs to pass her grandmother's childhood stories down the generations. This book is part of "Sharon's Legacy Series."

It was the summer eleven-year-old Anna learned the meaning of the word courage.
She needed courage for many things, from dealing with the bull... to trusting the Gypsies... to getting along with her classmates. But the most memorable day was when Mama decided to melt the lard. Anna was sweeping the porch when a piercing scream brought her broom to a halt. It's Mama! she thought wildly. Something happened to Mama!
