As Val settles into the pastel-colored flat and the cozy, treasure-filled bookshop, she discovers notes tucked inside a beloved old novel that lead her to a former owner and reveal a life more complicated than she imagined. To honor Eloise and preserve her mother’s legacy, Val must rally the shop’s eccentric staff, delve into deep family secrets, and navigate healing, forgiveness, and the possibility of a new kind of love.
