A heartwarming debut novel about a daydreamer who gives her town, and herself, an amazing gift: a lending library in her sunroom. When the Chatsworth library closes indefinitely, Dodie Fairisle loses her sanctuary. How is a small-town art teacher supposed to cope without the never-ending life advice and enjoyment that books give her? Well, when she' s as resourceful and generous as Dodie, she turns her sunroom into her very own little lending library. At first just a hobby, this lit lovers' haven opens up her world in incredible ways. She knows books are powerful, and soon enough they help her forge friendships between her zany neighbours and attract an exciting new romance. But when the chance to adopt an orphaned child brings Dodie' s secret dream of motherhood within reach, everything else suddenly seems less important. Finding herself at a crossroads, Dodie must figure out what it means to live a full, happy life. If only there were a book that could tell her what to do. . . ' A charming novel about family, fate, and (of course!) books, The Lending Library is sure to appeal to anyone who' s made a hard choice in life only to think, ' Did I get that right? ' Aliza Fogelson is a fresh new voice in fiction.
