“The first words of a new book are so delicious—like the first taste of a cookie fresh from the oven and not yet properly cooled.”
Kate Albus, A Place to Hang the Moon

“It is often the case that, at times of great anxiety, when the diversion of a good story should seem most welcome, one is least equipped to focus one’s mind on reading.”
Kate Albus, A Place to Hang the Moon

“A librarian seemed a good sort of friend to have.”
Kate Albus, A Place to Hang the Moon
