When Madeline’s professional life takes an unexpected turn -and a handsome gardener upends all her preconceived notions – she questions her plans and her heart, and begins to envision a new path for herself and for her aunt’s beloved shop. Claire, though quieter than the acerbic Janet, feels equally drawn to the daily rhythms of the shop and its loyal clientele, finding a renewed purpose within its walls. Reeling from a recent divorce, Janet finds sanctuary within the books and within the decadent window displays she creates.
