When her longtime boyfriend marries his girlfriend, her life goes into a downward spiral. Unable to continue at her job where he also works, she struggles to get back on her feet. When, out of the blue, her uncle asks her to work at his bookshop, she is skeptical. When she takes him up, she finds herself living in the musty upstairs of a specialty bookshop. The customers all have specific tastes, and she is ill-prepared. She learns the magic of the bookstore, its customers, and the quirky neighborhood. She leaves restored, but not before solving her uncle's marital issues.
