Heartbroken Natalie Harper inherits her mother's charming, cash-strapped bookshop and finds herself the carer for her ailing grandfather Andrew. She thinks it's best to move him to an assisted-living home to ensure his care, but to pay for it, Natalie will have to sell up the bookshop. However, Grandpa Andrew owns the building and refuses to budge.

Moving into the studio apartment above the shop, Natalie hires a contractor, Peach Gallagher, to do some repairs. His young daughter becomes a regular at the shop, and she and Natalie begin reading together while Peach works. Slowly, Natalie's sorrow begins to dissipate as her life becomes an unexpected journey of new friendships. From unearthing hidden artifacts in the bookshop's walls, to learning the truth about her family, the bookshop is full of surprises. Can Natalie reveal her own heart's desire and turn a new page...?
