From the author of the phenomenal bestseller The Keeper of Stories, comes an utterly beautiful and charming novel full of mystery and secrets waiting to be uncovered... Her new chapter starts now... Jo Sorsby is hiding from her past when she agrees to run her uncle's beloved stationery shop. Glimpsing the lives of her customers between the warm wooden shelves, as they scribble little notes and browse colourful notebooks, distracts her from her bruised heart. When she meets Ruth, a vicar running from a secret, and Malcolm, a septuagenarian still finding himself, she suddenly realizes she isn't alone. They each have a story that can transform Jo's life... if only she can let them in. The perfect gift for book lovers, The Keeper of Stories meets The Lost Bookshop in this gorgeous novel about secrets, second chances and finding friendship in the most unlikely places.

Jo Sorsby is going through a hard time.
She has recently split with her boyfriend so is trying to mend and needs a new start.
This comes in the form of her mother asking her to take over sick uncle Wilbur's stationary shop.
It starts out as a chore and favour but she finds she is good at it and has a natural empathy with her customers and is making friends.
Life is good and she realises she isn't the failure at it that she once believed.
