Non-Sappy Love Stories

Ann Hammond
Library Executive Director

I enjoy stories of people who manage to overcome obstacles and find happiness together. It can be pretty much any genre of fiction and any time period, but the people involved have to feel real to me and I have to care about them enough to want their story to work out. Here are some of my favorites.
