Librarian Phoebe Cotton lives with misopho nia. The sound of other people crunching an apple\, slurping their tea or snapping chewing gum fills her with a rage that she buries deep within.
\nMortified by her &lsquo\;Not Quite Right&rsquo\; brain\, she hides a way inside 6 Salmon Street\, the family home that her formidable grandmoth er Dorothy has abandoned for a more convivial life at the Western Retreat Retirement Village. But when Phoebe begins receiving mysterious postcards in the mail\, she slowly\, but surely\, finds herself being pulled back ou t into the world and towards Monty\, the sweet postal clerk.
\nAcros s town\, Suze\, a university student with a high distinction in study avoi dance\, is clinging to the hope that the neglectful J might actually be he r boyfriend. When J&rsquo\;s attention turns to Ky\, it sets Suze on a pat h that leads her to 6 Salmon Street and Phoebe Cotton.
\nTogether wi th Suze and Monty\, Phoebe goes on a mission to solve the mystery of the p ostcards but ends up finding much\, much more\, including acceptance\, str ength and love.
