The Lost and Found Bookshop

In this thought-provoking, wise and emotionally rich novel, New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs explores the meaning of happiness, trust, and faith in oneself as she asks the question, "If you had to start over, what would you do and who would you be?"

If you had to start over, what would you do and who would you be?

In the wake of a shocking tragedy, Natalie Harper inherits a charming but financially strapped bookshop in San Francisco. She also becomes the caretaker for her grandfather, who grew up in the historic building that houses the store. Grandpa Andrew struggles with memory loss, and Natalie wants to sell the building to pay for his care. There’s only one problem–her grandfather owns it outright and refuses to sell.

Reluctantly, Natalie takes over the shop and hires an ex-Marine from Georgia, Peach Gallagher, to help with repairs. Peach’s young daughter Dorothy, is a bright light during Natalie’s long days, and even manages to connect Natalie with Trevor Dashwood, a handsome celebrity novelist who takes an interest in Natalie’s small bookstore.

To Natalie’s surprise, her time of mourning is full of revelations, from unearthing artifacts hidden in the bookshop’s walls, to uncovering the truth about her family, her future, and her own heart.
