I've always thought it would be a wonderful occupation to own a bookstore, surrounded by novels, history and biographies so maybe that was part of the attraction to the book, along with the mismatched family that is formed around A.J., a widower who had been experiencing the worst sales in the history of the store and losing his prized possession that was supposed to one day be auctioned and allow him to retire. Finding someone to love whether it be a child or an adult is something we all crave. Whatever the reason for the delightful story, this is definitely going on my list of favorites.
