For the Love of Bookstores . . . in Books!

"I love to slip into the bookstore. It is my haven. I don't have to prove myself there."

Esme Garland is pregnant and alone. In order to support herself and her child, as well as keep her scholarship, she takes a part-time job at The Owl, a secondhand bookstore on the Upper West Side. With a unique cast of characters, The Bookstore is a celebration of bookstores, books, and the power of reading.
