About the Book
When a new lumber camp boss comes to town, will the librarian find her lumberjack dreams come to life? Or will a wealthy beer baron sweep her away in a quest to organize his personal library?
Petite Juliana Beauchamps possesses a vivid imagination, which comes in handy as a librarian. When a handsome giant of a lumberjack comes to town and rescues her from possible tragedy, she’s shaken by the event. A dashing beer baron, James Yost, from Milwaukee, also pursues Juliana’s attention. Meanwhile, a library trustee determines to push out the female librarians. Set in 1891, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Book Three in The Christy Lumber Camp Series focuses on Richard “Moose” Christy, the youngest of the sons, as he prepares to manage his first lumber camp. When Yost hires Juliana to organize his personal library, and her letters from Wisconsin suggest foul play, will Richard need to save her once again? And will his secret need to be revealed to win her heart? About the Author
Author Interview with Carrie Fancett Pagels
Former “Yooper” Carrie Fancett Pagels writes Christian historical romances about overcoming. She grew up in Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where many of her stories are set. Possessed with an overactive imagination, that wasn't "cured" by twenty-five years as a psychologist, she loves bringing characters to life. Carrie and her family reside in Virginia’s Historic Triangle, which is perfect for her fascination with history. Carrie enjoys reading, traveling,
baking, and beading—but not all at the same time!

I grew up hearing about lumber camp life for my mother. Only later did I learn that my great-grandfather had come north from Kentucky to work in the camps in lower Michigan!

Thanks, Joy! I love lilacs. This was a labor of love with God's help because I'd had major open gall bladder surgery right before writing it!

I loved that Juliana was such a contradiction. She went after Moose right away but then had doubts. Her heart knew but her mind argued!!! Blessings!

Great review. I love that Lilacs for Juliana is part of a series. I fall in love with locales and characters and if I can keep even in the same town in a story, I am happy.
Carrie Fancett Pagels
10/2/2015 08:27:36 am
Me too! I get deep into my locales to ground the story. And as a former psychologist, I get to know my characters and when I write I am "in character" for each one's POV!
Sydney @ Singing Librarian Books
10/6/2015 08:26:44 pm
I agree, Kelly. I love when a series continues in a same town or other characters from a previous story get their own story. :)
