Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In the lakeside town of Richland, Jessica Slaughter believes every reader is waiting for the right book to find them.At The Story Lady, a cozy bookstore-and-café filled with cinnamon rolls, soup debates, children's story hours, and the steady friendship of the women at the Ladies' Table, Jessica spends her days matching people with stories they didn't know they needed. But when she notices that customers are buying books without truly talking about them, she dreams up a simple summer reading challenge.What begins as a stack of Reading Passports and a hopeful chalkboard soon spreads through the whole town-drawing in reluctant readers, lonely neighbors, tired mothers, retired teachers, curious children, and one thoughtful fourth-grade teacher named Daniel Carter. As books pass from hand to hand, strangers become friends, quiet grief finds a gentle doorway forward, and Bear Lake begins to discover that stories can do more than entertain: they can heal, connect, and make a place feel like home.Warm, bookish, and full of heart, this uplifting small-town novel is a celebration of friendship, community, found family, and the quiet magic of the right book at the right time.
