When Anna takes over Longhampton's bookshop, it's her dream come true. And not just because it gets her away from her rowdy stepchildren and their hyperative Dalmatian. As she unpacks boxes of childhoods classics, Anna can't shake the feeling that maybe her own fairytale ending isn't all that she'd hoped for. But as the stories of love, adventure, secret gardens and giant peaches breathe new life into the neglected shop, Anna and her customers get swept up in the magic too. Even Anna's best friend Michelle – who categorically doesn't believe in true love and handsome princes – isn't immune. But when secrets from Michelle's own childhood come back to haunt her, and disaster threatens Anna's home, will the wisdom and charm of the stories in the bookshop help the two friends – and those they love – find their own happy ever afters?
