The Bookstore Sisters

This moving short tale about family, freedom, and finding your place in the world is written by New York Times bestselling author Alice Hoffman.

Isabel Gibson is almost a master at forgetting. She no longer has any ties to Brinkley's Island, Maine, and is a resident of New York. Her sister, Sophie, is unlikely to communicate with her ever again, her parents have passed away, and the family bookshop is almost bankrupt.

But Isabel finds herself pulled toward the past when an enigmatic letter shows up in her mailbox. She hates the idea of returning to the island after years of struggling for her freedom. What she discovers there has the potential to permanently shift her course and all she believed to be true about her family, her house, and herself.
