An abandoned bookshop. A dying small town. A long-lost love.
Can they all be saved?
Laid off from her tenured position at a small, private college in Iowa, historian Valerie is surprised to hear from a former student: a man who had a crush on her decades ago, despite their twenty-year age difference. When his father bequeaths her his abandoned bookstore in the tiny, dying river town of Cuisery, she ends up with a new career and a romance she never considered possible.
Val discovers a family she never knew, a love she never expected, and a home in a place she never imagined. Could the resurrection of Laurent Books and Cuisery help her forget the man who proposed marriage twenty years ago but disappeared instead?
The Little Iowa Bookshop is a novel about prejudice against relationships between older women and younger men; hope for dying, rural towns; and what's lost when families scatter across the country.
