This is a charming woman’s fiction read about Emilia, her father, the people in her community, romance and BOOKS! I read it a little while ago and enjoyed it as a very good light read. It $1.99 today.

“Romantic, utterly heartwarming and a perfect treat for bibliophiles everywhere.”
–Jenny Colgan, New York Times bestselling author of The Café by the Sea

—Amy E. Reichert, author of The Coincidence of Coconut Cake
“Henry’s sweet novel, filled with likable characters and shaped by a love of books, will appeal to fans of tender fiction who find bliss in bookstores and libraries.”
