Readers have spoken: They want their serial novel, broken into episodes, back!
So, we’ve listened.
Amish Knit Lit Circle (Smicksburg Tales 3) was a serial novel, episodes coming out every 3 weeks. Readers liked the “old-fashioned” small snippets (episodes) that Charles Dickens made popular years ago. A 300+ page novel was too overwhelming, but broken into parts, a delight.
If you’d like to read the complete series, set from winter-spring, the women hovering over classic books while knitting, you can purchase Amish Knit Lit Circle: Smicksburg Tales 3 now.
Summary:
From winter to spring, Granny and her circle, now consisting of Amish and English friends, knit for the homeless and discuss books. As these women reach out into their community, they share what they've learned. Missy Prissy, a snobby rich woman, reads A Christmas Carol, but will it change her Scrooge heart? Mona reads Black Beauty and images of past abuse haunt her dreams and this could not possibly be a good thing, or is it? Visions of romance dance in the women's heads, too. After reading Pride & Prejudice, they swoon over Mr. Darcy telling Elizabeth, "You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." Marriage problems come to the forefront, but will they be swept under the rag rug?
