'Alice had come halfway across the world to a find that, yet again, she was considered wanting. Well, she thought, if that was what everyone thought, she might as well live up to it.' England, late 1930s, and Alice Wright — restless, stifled — makes an impulsive decision to marry wealthy American Bennett Van Cleve and leave her home and family behind. But stuffy, disapproving Baileyville, Kentucky, where her husband favours work over his wife and is dominated by his overbearing father, + is not the adventure — or the escape — that she hoped for. That is, until she meets Margery O'Hare, a troublesome woman — and daughter of a notorious felon — the town wishes to forget. Margery's on a mission to spread the wonder of books and reading to the poor and lost — and she needs Alice's help. Trekking alone under big open skies, through wild mountain forests, Alice, Margery and their fellow sisters of the trail discover freedom, friendship, and a life to call their own. But when Baileyville turns against them, will their belief in one another — and the power of the written word — be enough to save them ?

What Lou does know for certain is that something has to change. Then, one night, it does. But does the stranger on her doorstep hold the answers Lou is searching for - or just more questions ? Close the door and life continues : simple, ordered, safe. Open it and she risks everything. But Lou once made a promise to live. And if she's going to keep it, she has to invite them in...
