Synopses & Reviews
Books. Love. Friendship. Second chances. All can be found at the Printed Letter Bookshop in the small, charming town of Winsome.
One of Madeline Cullen's happiest childhood memories is of working
with her Aunt Maddie in the quaint and cozy Printed Letter Bookshop. But
by the time Madeline inherits the shop nearly twenty years later,
family troubles and her own bitter losses have hardened Madeline's heart
toward her once-treasured aunt — and the now struggling bookshop left in
her care.
While Madeline intends to sell the shop as quickly as possible, the
Printed Letter's two employees have other ideas. Reeling from a recent
divorce, Janet finds sanctuary within the books and within the decadent
window displays she creates. Claire, though quieter than the acerbic
Janet, feels equally drawn to the daily rhythms of the shop and its
loyal clientele, finding a renewed purpose within its walls.
When Madeline's professional life falls apart, and a handsome
gardener upends all her preconceived notions, she questions her plans
and her heart. Has she been too quick to dismiss her aunt's beloved
shop? And even if she has, the women's best combined efforts may be too
little, too late.
