  can find solace with an intriguing new read\, a comforting beverage and b
 ook-loving friends. But before they can cut the ribbon\, their worlds are 
 upended. Toni receives devastating news just months before her wedding\, w
 hile Celeste&rsquo\;s struggling marriage threatens to collapse completely
 . Leslie learns a shocking secret about her family\, and a lotto ticket ch
 anges Yasmeen&rsquo\;s life--but not for the better. As the bookstore&rsqu
 o\;s grand opening fast approaches\, the four women must lean on each othe
 r now more than ever to navigate their grief and uncertainty. And together
 \, they&rsquo\;ll learn that sometimes\, even life&rsquo\;s most unexpecte
 d plot twists can lead to beautiful new beginnings.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Quest
