Hearts in Circulation

A stranded bookmobile and a note of apology bring two unlikely hearts together.

Little Creek’s bookmobile is more of a death trap on wheels than a vehicle of literary delights, and circulation librarian Hayley Holt is afraid it will careen down a mountainside. Yet she sees it as a way to serve her community and be worthy of the liver transplant that saved her life as a child.

Her fears come true when the bookmobile breaks down and a rockslide traps her in the small hollow of Turkey Grove.

Reclusive mechanic Levi Redding lives there to get away from people. He can handle getting the bookmobile running again, but the endless chatter and unsettling touches from the vibrant librarian leave him overstimulated.

When forced proximity leads to a misunderstanding, a note of apology begins an epistolary friendship, proving that sometimes the happiest endings aren’t contained within the bindings of a book.
