We all have choices in life and these choices not only affect us, but the people around us. For Madeline Cullen, her choices have helped her become a thriving businesswoman working in a topnotch law firm. On her way to becoming a partner at the firm, Madeline lives a wealthy, busy life and believes it's exactly where she belongs. When her Aunt Maddie passes away, Madeline is in for a surprise when her aunt gives the young woman her house and business, the Printed Letter Bookshop. Madeline's life is suddenly thrown upside down with trying to run her aunt's failing business and pay off all the debt she left behind. The bookshop's employees, Janet and Claire, begrudgingly guide Madeline in how to run the bookshop, well aware that once all the debts are paid, Madeline will sell their place of employment. These three women soon become some of the most influential people in each other's lives, learning the power of forgiveness and the importance of the choices they make each new day.
This book drew me in quickly with its diverse characters and their unique life goals. I found myself especially drawn to Madeline who focused so much on her career, she lost sight of the most important things in life. The setting of the small town and neighborly bookshop help build up the main themes of forgiveness, redemption and choosing to do the right thing. Light and entertaining, I sped through this book trying to find out what would happen next. Pacing is key to any good novel and the author did a superb job of keeping the stream of events and dialogue at the perfect speed. I also found the romantic elements that were included to be very tender and sweet. There are a few Christian elements in this book, but it is not necessary a Christian Fiction novel, making it great for any reader to enjoy. I recommend this book to anyone looking for an encouraging read or just love a good story.
