Antoinette had no idea that walking through the door of a used bookstore would change her life. She also didn’t know that her desire to read stories to her young child would lead her to meet an extraordinary man. Seeing his customer’s financial situation, this generous bookseller decides that today, all books are just five cents! From their unlikely encounter over Hemingway’s *The Old Man and the Sea* and a baby book, the sweetest bond will blossom. And thanks to the dog-eared books that need mending, three people will become a family. Nadine Poirier, with her characteristic sensitivity, offers the moving story of a young mother, a child, and a secondhand bookseller who has never locked either his door or his heart.
