Return to the cozy and delightful town of Winsome, where two people discover the grace of letting go and the joy found in unexpected change. "A touching, multilayered, yet totally cozy story" (Lauren K. Denton), Of Literature and Lattes is the heartwarming follow-up to The Printed Letter Bookshop.After fleeing her hometown three years earlier, Alyssa Harrison never planned to return. Then the Silicon Valley start-up she worked for collapsed and turned her world upside down. She is broke, under FBI investigation, and without a place to go. Having exhausted every option, she comes home to Winsome, Illinois, to regroup and move on as quickly as possible. Yet, as friends and family welcome her back, Alyssa begins to see a place for herself in this small Midwestern community.Jeremy Mitchell moved from Seattle to Winsome to be near his daughter and to open the coffee shop he's been dreaming of for years. Problem is, the business is bleeding money--and he's not quite sure why. When he meets Alyssa, he senses an immediate connection, but what he needs most is someone to help him save his floundering business. After asking for her help, he wonders if something might grow between them--but forces beyond their control soon complicate their already complex lives, and the future they both hoped for is not at all what they anticipated.With the help of Winsome's small-town charm and quirky residents, Alyssa and Jeremy discover the beauty and romance of second chances.Step into the heartwarming world of Winsome, where the charm of small-town life and the magic of second chances await you. Readers are calling Of Literature and Lattes "hopeful" and "a story of forgiveness, of fresh starts" (Melissa Ferguson)--you won't want to miss this delightful escape!
