Libraries and librarians have always been a major part of my life, so writing a story about them seemed like a natural fit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And although the book, as indicated by its cover, offers romance as well, its author says there is more to it than just a love story. \u201cThere\u2019s a huge focus on family and community and forgiveness and second chances,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s uplifting and encouraging, but it doesn\u2019t shy away from hard pasts and harder decisions about the present and future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Willoughby-Burle turned to the library for her research, seeking out almanacs, maps and folklore of eastern Kentucky. \u201cI researched Asheville of old as well,\u201d she says, \u201cas the main character is from our neck of the woods. I pored over old photographs and even a model of the city in the downstairs area of Pack Library just outside the children\u2019s area. I even found old photographs in the Tunnel Road Ingles that served as inspiration. I never thought of myself as a researcher as my other fiction has been mostly contemporary, but I have loved it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Other Side of Certain<em>, September, 2022, historical fiction, $19.99, by Amy Willoughby-Burle, and published by Fireship Press, Tucson, AZ.
