About this ebook
Fourth-grade teacher Mara Voss is still living by the quiet routines left behind by her late husband when a class visit to Oakes Street Library reveals that the beloved neighborhood landmark may be sold unless residents can prove its use, inventory its neglected donations, and raise $120,000 before a binding council vote in six weeks. Theo Bell, the used bookseller across the street, knows the value hidden in old stacks and forgotten boxes, even as his own shop is strained by overdue bills. Together, Mara and Theo make a practical pact at the card catalog: organize the volunteers, recover the missing records, and save the library without making promises they cannot keep. But collapsed shelves, missing oral histories, public accusations, and a hard deadline threaten to fracture the campaign before the vote. As Mara and Theo fight for the place that taught their neighborhood to gather, they must decide whether saving Oakes Street means risking more than their reputations.
