As an extra bonus, it includes a hint of romance!Ĭharacters: I also love that the main characters are a decade or more apart in age. The story is told from a Christian perspective and includes a few references to faith and Scripture as the characters grapple with the complexities and challenges of their lives. Themes: Most of all, I loved the themes in this heartfelt story! A few of the thoughtful themes include women supporting women, sacrificial and supportive friendships, second chances, mother/daughter reconciliation, forgiveness, and new beginnings. At the same time, Madeleine’s career plans are in jeopardy and she begins to seriously investigate what saving the bookshop, moving, and a new plan for her life might involve.

Suddenly, the families become estranged and Madeleine hasn’t seen her aunt in twenty years. Madeleine’s happiest childhood memory is spending time at her Aunt Maddie’s house and her beloved bookshop.
