A bookshop love story Jessica Fox is living in Hollywood, a 26-year-old filmmaker with a high-stress job at NASA. Working late one night, craving another life, she is seized by a moment of inspiration and taps "secondhand bookshop Scotland" into Google... The rollercoaster journey that ensues - taking in Scottish Hanukkah, yoga on Galloway's west coast, and a waxing that she will never forget - will both break and mend her heart.
It will also teach her that sometimes we must have the courage to travel the path less taken.
