Summary
 Nora Alcott restores damaged books for a living.When she accepts a commission at a remote coastal estate in Maine, she expects long days in a quiet library assessing a deteriorating private collection.What she does not expect is Aldgate House itself—or Callum Aldgate, the reserved furniture restorer who has spent years preserving both the house and the memories inside it.As autumn settles over the Maine coast, Nora uncovers generations of letters, journals, and unfinished histories hidden within the collection. But the deeper she works into the archive, the more she realizes restoration is never only about objects.Some things survive because someone keeps choosing them.A deeply atmospheric literary romance about memory, craftsmanship, grief, and the quiet courage of allowing life to move forward.©2026 Cora Hartley (P)2026 Cora Hartley Family Life Genre Fiction Small Town & Rural
