Back to Vallantine, Georgia, where dreams come to life ... 

Dorothy Wilson has always been known as the sensible one, the strong one, the reliable member of the "Bookish Belles." Right now, however, she feels anything but strong.

The renovation of the old library into a bookshop is nearing completion, making a long-held dream a reality. She ought to be enjoying this; she should be excited and happy. But that is difficult when the work keeps throwing her into the path of Forest Truman, her secret high school crush.

Every encounter with him reminds her of the naive, overweight, unhappy girl she was back then. Worse still, it brings her old insecurities bubbling back to the surface - especially when he starts flirting with her. Is it just harmless banter, or is he serious? And even if he is sincere: Can she open her heart to someone to whom she was previously invisible?
