Embarrassed and bewildered, she turns to books, picking up a self-help book at the local bookstore that inspires her to work weekends there instead of staying at home with her overbearing mother.
Giovanni is passionate about literacy, but he must achieve his fundraising goals or lose his job. While visiting the bookstore to persuade the owner to host an event, he makes a mess of Audra’s first day.
Neither of them is looking for love. Can they overcome their past and write a new chapter together?
