What to expect
What happens when an attorney inherits a small-town bookshop that seems to have a mind of its own?
Charlie Whitmore has her life perfectly planned out. As a rising star at a prestigious Manhattan law firm, she's on the fast track to partnership. Until her beloved Aunt Beth dies and leaves her a small-town bookshop in Vermont.
Oak & Ink Bookshop has stood in the heart of Leafwood Falls for nearly a century, beloved by locals. Charlie's plan is simple: assess the shop's value, list it for sale, and return to Manhattan. But Leafwood Falls has other ideas.
Between a cantankerous orange cat named Hemingway, a shop assistant whose organizational system defies all logic, and a community that instantly adopts her as one of their own, Charlie's quick business trip stretches into weeks. And then there's the bookshop itself—with its creaky floors, mysteriously moving books, and secrets hidden within its walls.
As Charlie dives deeper into her aunt's legacy, she finds herself torn between two worlds and two men: Lawrence, a sophisticated developer, and Ethan, the rugged local contractor.
With her life unraveling, Charlie must decide whether she's just passing through—or finding her way home.
