The reader follows June Jones as she fights to find herself again after losing her mother and finding out the one place she feels safe and secure may be taken from her. With the potential closure of her beloved library on the horizon June must decide just how important the library is to her, is it worth potentially losing her job (that would vanish alongside the library anyhow) in order to fight along side mishmash of individuals who find safety in the library. This novel is full of personal growth, grief, found family, friends to lovers romance, mental illness, determination, and a zest for life.
