When she was a girl, Faith Zook had dreamed of living in the city. But when she married a lifelong city dweller, the city shocked her. Rats on the doorstep. Drug dealers next door. The high cost of living. Stares and odd questions. Her growing family brought more challenges; child training without privacy, finding chores for the children, reaching out to neighbors while protecting the family.

However, Faith found unexpected opportunities and unexpected joy. Neighbors came for supper, asked for her advice, and offered help and baby clothes. There were educational events for her homeschooled children and jobs for her teenagers. Now, she wouldn't want to raise her family anywhere else.

Pilgrims in the Library 265635 is packed with stories from twenty years of city living. Faith encourages other mothers, whether urban or rural, to find joy and fulfillment serving the Lord in their own setting.
