The Dove family has  lived in Dove Pond for ages. The daughters are even said to have magical traits. Sarah is the librarian who can commune with books. The books tell her who they need to go to. Though she can't explain it, she takes it in stride. When a book tells her that newcomer Grace is going to save the town, Sarah listens.

Grace is only in Dove Pond long enough to see if it helps her mom battle her Alzheimer's Disease. The job she took to support her family as the city's clerk doesn't pay well, but if it makes Momma G regain some memory, it will be worth the year away from her corporate job. Grace has also just been made guardian of her niece and never being a mom before, has plenty to learn about raising a child. The last thing she needs is to get sucked into the town's drama. One year and done is her mantra. 

Will Grace save the town? Read The Book Charmer to find out.
