Dove Pond, a small
Southern town, is dying. The inhabitants want to save it, but no one
knows what to do. Sara Dove, the librarian has always believed she’ll
save the town. Her books told. Sara has a unique gift. Books talk to
her. They’re her special companions and help her get the right
books to each library patron.
When Grace Wheeler
and her small family come to town, Sara thinks she may have found
someone who can make the town come alive. Grace, however, is not at
all interested in saving the town. She’s there for a short time
before she goes back to her high pressure job in the city. She’s
there to mourn the death of her sister, give her sister’s child
some stability, and take care of Mama G, the foster mother who helper
her gain self-confidence and is slipping into dementia.
This is a charming
book focusing on family, friendship and small town values. The main
character, Grace, is will drawn and Sara is an excellent foil for
her. The plot is engrossing. I particularly liked the focus on books.
It was a deft touch to bring the town and characters to life.
I highly recommend
this book if you enjoy small town stories and likable
characters.
I received this book
from Net Galley for this review.
