The Bookshop of Hidden Dreams by Karen Hawkins
Over 200 5-Star Reviews!
When an antique tin of love letters is discovered hidden in her family home, noted historian Tay Dove rushes back to Dove Pond to uncover a long-buried truth—and escape the heartbreak she’s still reeling from.
Returning home gives Tay a welcome distraction: a biography of her great-great-grandmother Sarafina, a trailblazing reporter who began her career in Dove Pond in the late nineteenth century—before vanishing from town without explanation.
The letters seem to hold the answer. Instead, they raise more questions, revealing Sarafina’s forbidden love affair with William Day, a reckless young man tied to a notorious train robbery. The trail leads to eighty-year-old Rose Day’s bookshop, a beloved local landmark that also serves as the town archive—yet Rose is curiously unwilling to grant Tay access.
Just when the past appears locked away for good, Tay finds an unexpected ally in Rose’s grandson, Luke, a fellow lover of puzzles and secrets. Together, they begin to untangle a mystery that spans generations—and uncover the truth behind a love story more precious than gold.
Perfect for fans of Alice Hoffman and Sarah Addison Allen, The Bookshop of Hidden Dreams is a heartfelt novel about lost histories, second chances, and the adventures waiting to be found inside the pages of a book.
