Synopsis: In this inspiring, delightful memoir, a young woman decides to escape the daily grind and turn her "what if" fantasy into a reality, only to find work--and a man--she loves in one fell swoop, all in a secondhand bookstore in a quaint Scottish town.Jessica Fox was an ambitious twenty-six-year-old filmmaker, but she was stuck in a rut and couldn't take it anymore. Living in Hollywood and working a high-stress job at NASA, she was seized by a moment of inspiration one night and typed "second hand bookshop Scotland" into Google. She clicked on the first link she saw. A month later, she crossed the Atlantic to the west coast of Scotland, and knocked on the door of the bookshop she would be calling home for the next year... The rollercoaster journey that ensued--involving Scottish Hanukkah, a swoon-worthy love story, yoga on Galloway's West Coast, and a waxing that Jessica will never forget--would both break and mend her heart. It would also teach her that before we can write our own stories, we must have the courage to travel the path less taken. If you've ever wondered how you could change the course of your life, Jessica's charming story will entertain, enlighten, and inspire you to begin your own journey of self-discovery.
