Description
'Will make you smile, make you cry, fill you with joy and warm your heart.' NetGalley reviewer,
***Shortlisted for the Romantic Novelists' Association Contemporary Romantic Novel Award!***
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 divorcee 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?
An uplifting story about fresh starts, new beginnings and the power of stories, from the bestselling author of Rosie's Travelling Tea Shop!

About the Author
REBECCA RAISIN writes heartwarming romance from her home in sunny Perth, Australia. Her heroines tend to be on the quirky side and her books are usually set in exotic locations so her readers can armchair travel any day of the week. The only downfall about writing about gorgeous heroes who have brains as well as brawn, is falling in love with them - just as well they're fictional. Rebecca aims to write characters you can see yourself being friends with. People with big hearts who care about relationships and believe in true, once in a lifetime love. Her bestselling novel Rosie's Travelling Tea Shop has been optioned for film with MRC studios and Frolic Media.
