New York Times bestselling author Karen Hawkins crafts an
unforgettable story about a sleepy Southern town, two fiercely
independent women, and a truly magical friendship.
Sarah Dove is no ordinary bookworm. To her, books have always been more
than just objects: they live, they breathe, and sometimes they even
speak. When Sarah grows up to become the librarian in her quaint
Southern town of Dove Pond, her gift helps place every book in the hands
of the perfect reader. Recently, however, the books have been whispering
about something out of the ordinary: the arrival of a displaced city
girl named Grace Wheeler.
If the books are right, Grace could be the savior that Dove Pond
desperately needs. The problem is, Grace wants little to do with the
town or its quirky residents--Sarah chief among them. It takes a bit of
urging, and the help of an especially wise book, but Grace ultimately
embraces the challenge to rescue her charmed new community. In her
quest, she discovers the tantalizing promise of new love, the deep
strength that comes from having a true friend, and the power of finding
just the right book.
"A mesmerizing fusion of the mystical and the everyday" (Susan Andersen,
New York Times bestselling author), The Book Charmer is a
heartwarming story about the magic of books that feels more than a
little magical itself. Prepare to fall under its spell.
