β¦ Synopsis
Corrie Holden opens a bookstore in Linden Grove and begins living the dream of her 30-something yearsββ-independence and her enthusiasm for books. But the unacknowledged presence of xenophobia and racism in this idyllic Illinois farm town eventually has a devastating effect on the new bookstore.
Soon after the store opens, Corrie meets Breanna Campbell, victim of domestic violence, and Jimmy Kosmatka, the manager of Long Creek Stable, taciturn and rough-edged. Long ago convicted of a victimless felony, Jimmy is in the process of rebuilding his own idealism. Breanna is beginning a journey that will take her from a world of hopeless fantasy to a new life. When the perpetrator of a hate crime turns out to be the last person Corrie would have suspected, she and Jimmy discover the principles of restorative justiceβ and their love for one another.
