A wonderful exploration of the past, future, and the significance of being present, this emotionally rich novel delves into happiness, trust, and self-identity. It poses the question, "If you had to start over, what would you do and who would you be?" In the wake of a shocking tragedy, Natalie Harper inherits her mother’s charming yet struggling bookshop in San Francisco and becomes the caretaker for her ailing grandfather, Andrew, her only living relative aside from her scoundrel father. As Andrew shows signs of decline, Natalie considers moving him to an assisted living facility, prompting her to plan the sale of the bookstore to cover expenses. However, Andrew, who owns the building, refuses to sell. Devoted to her grandfather, Natalie is determined to ensure his happiness in his final years. She also finds solace in the bookstore amidst her grief. After moving into a small apartment above the shop, she hires contractor Peach Gallagher for repairs, and his daughter, Dorothy, becomes a regular at the store. As Natalie and Dorothy bond over reading, she discovers new connections and insights, unearthing hidden artifacts and truths about her family, her future, and her heart.
