From the author who brought you the beloved Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper comes a new adventure starring a shy librarian who must emerge from her shell to write her own happy ending.
Meet Martha Storm: a shy and lonely librarian who puts other people’s needs before her own, taking notes in her Wonder Woman notebook of errands she agreed to do for others. Sometimes it feels as if the word No isn’t in her vocabulary. Once upon a time, she had dreams of becoming a writer and moving away from her small town. But life didn't turn out quite like Martha had expected.
Then, one day, she receives a package: an old book of fairy tales with a dedication to Martha from her eccentric grandmother, Zelda, within its delicate pages.
But something isn’t right—because the message is dated three years after Zelda supposedly died.
Martha had been devastated by her grandmother’s sudden, mysterious death all those years ago. Zelda had been Martha’s best friend and had helped shield her from the simmering tensions within the Storm family. Bewildered that Zelda might still be alive, Martha embarks on a journey to find out the truth—revealing a shocking family secret that will change Martha’s life forever.
