Love Walked In

Love Walked In by Marisa de los Santos is a book a good friend of mine recommended. The premise is intriguing to me and the bit of text I read online had a very conversational style, which I tend to like. But other than that, I know nothing about it except for that it's been checked out a lot and that Augusta and Waynesboro both have 1 large print available, right now and more that are checked out. Here is the synopsis I got off Goodreads.com It may count in the lighter read category--I don't know--so I'm putting it in both.

When Martin Grace enters the hip Philadelphia coffee shop Cornelia Brown manages, her life changes forever. But little does she know that her newfound love is only the harbinger of greater changes to come. Meanwhile, across town, Clare Hobbs—eleven years old and abandoned by her erratic mother—goes looking for her lost father. She crosses paths with Cornelia while meeting with him at the cafĂ©, and the two women form an improbable friendship that carries them through the unpredictable currents of love and life.
Love Walked In, the first novel by award-winning poet Marisa de los Santos, is bursting with keen insight and beautifully rendered prose. Invoking classic movies to illuminate the mystery and wonder of love in all its permutations, Love Walked In is an uplifting debut that marks the entrance of an enchanting literary voice.

  1. Jennie, I will read what ever everyone decides. I have never been a big reader, so I am not up on all the good stuff. Thanks for your hard work to get it going.
