The Bookstore

By: Patti Jo Moore

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

All kindergarten teacher Kate Henderson wanted was to be happily married with a child of her own. But after her marriage to an unfaithful man ended, those dreams seemed to fade. When she meets the new barista at the local bookstore, Kate’s heart goes out to the young woman, who’s carrying some heavy, emotional baggage. Dealing with her own painful past, Kate is trying to guard her heart after meeting a former football player; after all, her ex-husband’s obsession with sports remains a sour memory.

Former pro football player David White wants to put his past behind him, especially the painful memory of losing his toddler son. He hopes moving to his company’s Georgia office will help, as he focuses on increasing his finances. The small town of Maple Grove welcomes him, and he soon makes friends with many of the town’s residents, including a very attractive kindergarten teacher named Kate. But when David is offered a tempting promotion if he transfers, he knows leaving Maple Grove would also mean leaving behind Kate and the town he’s grown to love.

The lives of three very different adults change in ways that none of them could’ve imagined, and it all started in a lovely, small-town bookstore.
