Pilgrims Don't Wear Pink

Libby Kelting had always felt herself born out of time. No wonder the historical romance-reading, Jane Austen-adaptation-watching, all-around history nerd jumped at the chance to intern at Camden Harbor, Maine’s Oldest Living History Museum. But at Camden Harbor Libby’s just plain out of place, no matter how cute she looks in a corset. Her cat-loving coworker wants her dead, the too-smart-for-his-own-good local reporter keeps pushing her buttons, her gorgeous sailor may be more shipwreck than dreamboat — plus Camden Harbor’s haunted. Over the course of one unforgettable summer, Libby learns that boys, like ghosts, aren’t always what they seem.

One internship, two cute guys, and a summer of discovering her favorite historical romances have nothing on reality.

• Enemies to Lovers: The local reporter, Garrett, is infuriating, nerdy, and definitely not her type. So why can’t she stop thinking about him?
• Love Triangle: A charming sailor seems like the perfect historical hero, but Libby’s torn between the boy of her dreams and the boy who drives her crazy.
• Haunted Ship: Between her disastrous summer job and her confusing love life, there’s also a ghost to deal with. Because of course there is.
• Small Town Charm: Welcome to Camden Harbor, a living history museum where the colonial drama is just as real as the modern kind.

“A nearly perfect book . . . [that] will have you laughing and singing.”  —A teen reviewer   "In this whimsical tale, the reader is not only entertained, but also learns a little history along the way."—VOYA (Voices of Youth Advocates)   "Strohm has a good sense of slapstick and an ear for one-liners."—Kirkus Reviews   "Pilgrims will be enjoyed by fans of romantic comedies."--School Library Journal   "Interesting historical facts are woven throughout, but, mostly, Strohm's debut is breezy beach reading--it'll go down as easily as Libby's Colonial Caramel Apple Pie."--Booklist "[Strohm] turns a strong heroine and a few surprises into a clever, tightly written book that will keep readers wondering who will become Libby's Mr. Darcy."—Publishers Weekly
