An inspiring and poetic story about reading, libraries, and overcoming shyness to find community.
I gather the books in my arms, and give them a hug. "Welcome back," I whisper.
Nicky is a shy girl who feels most at home in the safe space of her school library, but the library closes for a week and Nicky is forced to face her social anxiety. When she meets a group of unique, diverse, inspiring women at her mother's diner-members of a women's motorcycle club-Nicky realizes that being different doesn't have to mean being alone, and that there's a place for everyone.
Book lovers of all ages will find inspiration in this beautiful love letter to reading-and how words help us find empathy and connections with the world around us.
