Welcome to Litsy!

Jo Waterstone knows what you should read next. She�s honed the skill of sizing up a person and recommending their next book in the decades she�s worked at Bruebaker�s Books. Her life has been shaped by the store, the bustle of customers exploring the stacks, and managing the eager staff. She can honestly say it�s the best job she�s ever had. Then the store�s elderly owner, Mr. Bruebaker, suffers a stroke, and just like that Jo�s perfect job is on the chopping block. Mr. B�s daughters and the bookstore�s icy CEO think the time is right to close for good, and they order Jo to lock up. But she doesn�t know what she would be without Bruebaker�s�and besides, the place is an institution. So instead of following orders, she decides to take a stand: along with a few brave team members, she barricades herself in the store, trying to buy time until Mr. Bruebaker recovers and can speak for himself. Living in a bookstore has a certain magic to it, but the quiet hours among the books throw the choices Jo has made in her life into sharp relief. As supporters�and detractors�start to voice their opinions about her actions, Jo will have to decide what, exactly, is worth saving.
