Massachusetts 1954 finds Alice Campbell setting up a bookstore in a derelict building along the cobblestone streets of Cambridge. She has just escaped halfway across the country with all her belongings and a heavy heart. Soon the place becomes the enchanting bookshop of her dreams, knowing firsthand the power of books to comfort the brokenhearted. The Cambridge Bookshop becomes a haven for Tess, Caroline, Evie, and Merritt, who are all navigating the struggles of being newly independent college women in a world that wants to keep them in the kitchen. But when a member of the group finds herself shattered, everything they know about themselves will be called into question.

There is not a designated leader, so bring a question to offer for discussion by the group. All are welcome.
