When Maggie Banks arrives in Bell River to run her best friend's bookstore, she expects to sell bestsellers to her small- town clientele. But when a series of mishaps tip the bookstore toward ruin, Maggie will have to get creative to keep the shop afloat. To help save the store, Maggie starts an underground book club celebrating the books readers love. But keeping the club quiet, selling forbidden books, and dodging the literary society is nearly impossible. Especially when Maggie unearths a secret that could upend everything. Maggie will have to decide what's more important: the books that formed a small town's history or the stories poised to change it all.
