She writes about a town she won't call home; she photographs everything but faces.
In Ashby, North Carolina, the door between the bookshop and the coffee shop has never once closed, and the single bench on Main sits sideways, a small monument to compromise. Nita Kapoor edits the Blue Ridge Gazette. She has chronicled every soul in town for nine years and has never once typed the word home. Sasha Voss arrives for a six-week assignment with a camera that stopped taking pictures of people five years ago, and a rule she does not explain to anyone.
A regional magazine wants a glossy feature on Ashby, the kind that could save Main Street or flatten it into a postcard, and Nita is the one who has to decide which. Sasha only wants a town that will hold still and let itself be photographed. Then one picture gets taken without permission, and the woman who publishes everything, including herself, and the woman who cannot bear to be seen must reckon with the distance between looking and being looked at. Off the Record tells the story of two careful women, one open door, and the slow discovery that the right person reads you and lets you stay unfinished anyway.
A small-town sapphic romance about hiding in plain sight, and the photographer who finally sees her. Closed-door, dual POV, with a local newspaper, a camera pointed the wrong way, and a guaranteed happy ending.
Book 7 in The Bookshop on Main series. Can be read as a standalone.
