Twenty-seven-year-old Lennon Harper has always found safety in the familiar - in Greenville's cobblestone streets, in the murmur of the Reedy River, and behind the counter of The Story Shop, a cozy bookstore café that hosts poetry nights, book clubs, and half-price wine on Fridays.
A poet with a restless heart, Lennon is stuck between the comfort of routine and a growing ache for something more. That longing sharpens the night Luc Simard walks into poetry night - tall, magnetic, and impossibly real. He recites T.S. Eliot with a reverence that rattles her bones and sees Lennon in a way no one ever has.
But Luc is not who - or what - he claims to be.
As Lennon uncovers the devastating truth that the man she's falling for died decades ago, the line between grief, memory, and madness begins to blur. Haunted by love, battling her own fragile mental health, and desperate not to lose herself again, Lennon must decide whether Luc is a miracle, a ghost, or the manifestation of everything she's been too afraid to face.
Set against the warm glow of Greenville's arts scene, The Story Shop is a lyrical, emotional exploration of love, loss, creativity, and the dangerous beauty of being seen.
