Miracles and Menorahs by Stacey Agdern

I loved this adorable Hanukkah romance. Sarah Goldman is vice chairperson of her small town’s Hanukkah festival, which is about to happen for the 9th year. Unfortunately, some on the board of trustees are concerned the festival isn’t making enough money and want to turn it into a more inclusive festival that celebrates other holidays (not just Hanukah) and Sarah wants it to remain just a Hanukkah festival. She tries to enlist the help of sculptor Isaac Liebermann to create a giant menorah as the centerpiece for the festival, but he refuses, even though there are definite sparks between the two. I loved the friend circle, the great scenes with family, all the wonderful Hanukkah traditions and this sweet small-town romance.
