A bookstore owner discovers that life as a recluse isn't for everyone in this sharp yet sweet novel about how sometimes you need to abandon the quest for love to find your true passion.

Emma Rini is in a rut so deep she could shelve books there. While her sister awaits her first baby, and her parents kick off retirement with vow renewals and travel, Emma stays put among the stacks of the family bookshop.

In fact, she can't remember the last time she took a vacation. Or had a romance that hovered above disappointing. When her parents assume she'll take over the shop for them without a break, she realizes she needs to get away--back to the nineteenth century. Channeling her favorite poet recluse, Emily Dickinson, Emma rents a crumbling manor house outside Amherst where she can learn how to be quietly, blissfully alone.

But becoming a world-weary spinster isn't easy. She can't start a fire or reason with the bunnies that are destroying the garden. She finds herself sparring constantly with the grumpy-hot architect who is renovating the manor. And then there's the secret admirer who keeps sending her complicated floral messages...

No matter what she does, the outside world keeps knocking, and Emma starts to dream about the future. Will she forgo love for the family legacy? And will she shrink away or become the sort of bold person fortune favors?

No need for dry chapped lips
After trying many different products designed to help your lips feel soft and healthy it was such a pleasure to find something that really worked! Vaseline is a brand that is tried and true so I wasn’t apprehensive about the purchase. I noticed an improvement right away. My lips no longer hurt or felt chapped and dry. There is no need to wait days or weeks for a solution. But it now!

Worked wonders on dry hands!
This is definitely very hydrating! Worked so well on my very dry hands without leaving a greasy feeling. I have noticed after using it on my legs they feel a little sticky, so not sure what that’s about. Overall satisfied though.

Miracle cream: excellent quality
I had dry skin. I come from a country that is very hot and being in this cold country. My skin has grown a little too thin. I really had to go to a dermatologist and he recommended this product and I recommended this product to him. I give a mile of 10 imagine I'm joining it. The foot carcasses if you have it. My carcasses are like a baby's feet really are. Can they buy it that they can buy it wherever they want from Walmart? I'm giving him a mile out of ten.

Best lotion I have bought.
Great relief for dry skin without being greasy! This is very important as I have looked for a long time for a clean and effective lotion like this. I keep the small tube in my lunch bag for work. I will buy this in bulk if I can. No odor I can detect. Gives my old skin a glow I haven't seen in many years and keeps my over worked fingers from drying and cracking.
