On the bright side, because of Marilyn's hard work, this is a very easy proof, and having run into some unexpected free time I expect I will have it done within the next couple of days, so you'll be getting the book soon anyway. As to holds, all you need to do, if you see that someone is currently scanning a book you want, is let them know you're interested, and when they finish with the scan, they will put, in your case, "hold for Peggy" before the title when submitting the book to the checkout queue.

At first glance it is a book of exquisite seventeenth-century embroidery patterns belonging to a woman named Catherine Ann Tregenna. Yet in its margins are the faintest diary entries; they reveal that "Cat" and others were stolen from their Cornish church in 1625 by Muslim pirates and taken on a brutal voyage to Morocco to be auctioned off as slaves. Captivated by this dramatic discovery, Julia sets off to North Africa to determine the authenticity of the book and to uncover more of Cat's mesmerizing story. There, in the company of a charismatic Moroccan guide, amid the sultry heat, the spice markets, and exotic ruins, Julia will discover buried secrets. And in Morocco---just as Cat did before her---she will lose her heart. Set almost 400 years apart, the stories of these two women converge in an extraordinary and haunting manner that will make readers wonder---is history fated to repeat itself? A literary mystery, historical adventure, and dual love story,The Tenth Gift literally crosses genres with narrative ease and prose that is as captivating as the characters who people this unforgettable tale.
