This is a must for all those adults who adored Goodnight Moon when they were children, and those parents, grandparents and others who are introducing its simple charm and wonder to the next generation. It is written from the heart with great affection for the woman who was the catalyst for many a child’s love of reading and is a fine tribute to “Brownie,” whose work will no doubt find a resurgence if this novel has the success it deserves. There is also a mystery to solve when the store is broken into.Īlthough there is historical fiction in its invented letters, this is for the most part a contemporary novel about self-discovery and why bookstores still matter in our modern world. June’s defensive shell crumbles as the letters reveal secrets about Ruby’s life and snippets of wisdom about the value of sisters. While sorting through Ruby’s stock, June comes across letters exchanged in the 1940s between Ruby and her best friend, children’s author Margaret Wise Brown. She is attracted to Gavin, who owns the adjoining restaurant, and an encounter with her estranged sister, Amy, forces June to confront unresolved issues from the past.

At first, the pragmatic June intends to sell the store, but events conspire to change her mind. After an alarming health episode, doctors warn her to change her ways, but she only takes an enforced break when she receives a letter from a law firm in her hometown of Seattle informing her that her great-aunt Ruby has died and that she has inherited her bookstore.
