ABOUT THE BOOK

A wish she barely remembers. A storm she cannot ignore. A man who alters the shape of her world..On a quiet street, in a forgotten corner of the village, stands Cole's Sundry Shop—a place of porcelain teapots, satin curtains, and whispered legends. Within its walls lives Agnes Cole, a devoted daughter whose life is bound by duty, longing, and the shadow of a love that may never have been real.

When a storm, a strange teal tin of tea, and a mysterious young man named Malcolm converge, Agnes's world is forever altered. Is Malcolm a fevered dream, a ghost called forth by enchantment, or the echo of her whispered wish beneath the bewitched winter snow?

As her father departs on a fateful journey, as Thaddeus Taylor offers steadfast devotion, and as Aunt Charlotte stirs jealous secrets, Agnes must navigate the fragile line between memory and illusion. Her choices will bind her not only to those she loves, but to the quiet mysteries that shape a life.
​

The Shopkeeper's Daughter is a tender, evocative novel about memory, devotion, and the fragile line between what is real and what we choose to believe. It is the story of a woman bound by love and loss, and of the quiet miracles that sustain us when time itself seems to stand still.
