The book winds a
little magic with a little town that needed saving. Sarah Dove is a librarian who has grown up
with books talking to her. They tell her
when she needs to give someone a book, they tell her when she needs to read a
book and they tell her that the new lady in town is going to save the
town. Grace Wheeler comes to town in
order to help her Grandmother who lived there before and has come down with
dementia. She does a lot better when she
is nearby that which is familiar from her past, it’s the present she forgets
easily. Grace sure has her hands full
with her and with her niece, whom she is suddenly mothering as her sister has
died from drugs.
Dove Pond desperately needs saving but the books won’t tell Sarah how Grace will save the town just that she must stay more than the year she says she staying in order to save the town. Grace doesn’t even want to make friends, which makes Sarah’s job even harder. Grace definitely doesn’t want to find love, but she may find that also if she opens her heart. As she stays and works for a Mayor who only wants to go fishing, she has her hands full at work and also at home. A magical and unforgettable story!

description of this book on Good Reads:
New
York Times bestselling author Karen Hawkins crafts an
unforgettable story about a sleepy Southern town, two fiercely independent
women, and a truly magical friendship.Sarah Dove is no ordinary bookworm. To her, books have always been more than just objects: they live, they breathe, and sometimes they even speak. When Sarah grows up to become the librarian in her quaint Southern town of Dove Pond, her gift helps place every book in the hands of the perfect reader. Recently, however, the books have been whispering about something out of the ordinary: the arrival of a displaced city girl named Grace Wheeler.
If the books are right, Grace could be the savior that Dove Pond desperately needs. The problem is, Grace wants little to do with the town or its quirky residents—Sarah chief among them. It takes a bit of urging, and the help of an especially wise book, but Grace ultimately embraces the challenge to rescue her charmed new community. In her quest, she discovers the tantalizing promise of new love, the deep strength that comes from having a true friend, and the power of finding just the right book.
