An uplifting story about fresh starts, new beginnings and the power of stories, from the bestselling author of Rosie's Travelling Tea Shop!
When Elodie applies for the job of librarian in peaceful Willow Grove, she's looking forward to a new start. As the daughter of a media empire, her every move has been watched for years, and she longs to work with the thing she loves most: books.
It's a chance to make a real difference too, because she soon realises that there are other people in Willow Grove who might need a fresh start – like the homeless man everyone walks past without seeing, or the divorcée who can't seem to escape her former husband's misdeeds.
Together with local journalist Finn, Elodie decides these people have stories that need sharing. What if instead of borrowing books readers could ‘borrow' a person, and hear the life stories of those they've overlooked?
But Elodie isn't quite sharing her whole story either. As the story of the library's new success grows, will her own secret be revealed?
