For head librarian Kit, her local public library offers what she craves most: peace. Here, no one expects Kit to talk about the events that catapulted her out of what she thought was a settled, suburban life. She can simply submerge herself in her beloved books and try to forget her problems. That changes when fifteen-year-old, homeschooled Sunny gets arrested for shoplifting a dictionary and is assigned community service at the library for the summer. Bright, curious, and eager to connect with someone other than her hippie parents, Sunny coaxes Kit out of her self-imposed isolation. In this little library that has become the heart of this small town, Kit and Sunny are drawn to each other, and to a cast of other offbeat regulars. As they come to terms with how their lives have unraveled, they also discover how they might knit them together again and finally reclaim their stories.
