There is a book for everything. Somewhere in the vast Library of the Universe, as Natalie thought of it, there was a book that embodied exactly the things she was worrying about. In the wake of a shocking tragedy, Natalie Harper inherits her mother’s charming but financially strapped bookshop on San Francisco’s historic Perdita Street, and takes on the care of her ailing grandfather Andrew. Other than her scoundrel of a father, Grandpa Andrew is Natalie’s only living relative. Gruff but loveable, and deeply kind, her grandfather is showing signs of possible dementia and Natalie scrambles to make a plan, intending to move him to an assisted living facility, close the bookstore, and sell the old building, which is in constant need of repair. There’s only one problem–Grandpa Andrew owns the building, and he refuses to sell. Natalie adores him and will do anything to preserve his happiness, and she's discovered that the best salve for her seemingly intractable grief is the constant flow of books the shop provides. Natalie puts together a plan to turn things around and save the bookstore. In order to save on rent and commuting, she’s moved into a small studio above the shop. At her grandfather’s request she hires Peach Gallagher, an ex-Marine from Georgia (hence the nickname) and a single father, to do some renovations. Peach lives in San Francisco in order to be near his young daughter Dorothy, who soon becomes a store regular, reading with Natalie as her father works. Clawing her way back from tragedy, Natalie finds a wholly unexpected journey of discoveries and revelations, from unearthing artifacts hidden in the bookshop walls, to discovering the truth about her family, her future, and her own heart. Intellectually engaging, emotionally rich, The Lost and Found Bookshop explores the meaning of happiness, trust, and faith in oneself. It’s a sensitive portrayal of the realities of elder care and single parenthood, and a love letter to booksellers everywhere.
