Ella and the Enchanted Bookshop

“Ella,” Margaret interrupted with an amused smile. “Are you suggesting that I gave you a magical book?” Then she took a sip of tea.

Ella is the small town of Buchkarte’s renowned horse whisperer. (Pronounced Book-Heart. Say it right, or the locals will never let you live it down.) Sole daughter of late national equine champions, Ella obviously inherited her parents’ skills and passion. And as she runs the town’s only horse boarding ranch, you would think business would be booming.

Sadly, you would be wrong. Stuck under the thumb of the ranch’s new owner – who also happens to be Ella’s stepmother – it’s all Ella can do to keep the place running while ensuring her beloved horses’ care. And as the cold days of autumn approach yet again, Ella begins to wonder how much longer she can hold on.

But just as she doubts whether she’ll ever find peace or companionship again, thanks to her stepmother’s threats, the local town busybody (and the Enchanted Endings Bookshop’s proprietor, Margaret) lends Ella a book – a book with a familiar story that’s incomplete. But as autumn matures, Ella starts to sense that this mysterious book might have more to do with her life than she first thought, as new possibilities appear before her.

Possibilities that include freedom, independence, and maybe even Margaret’s godson, Asher.

And for the first time since her parents’ deaths, Ella begins to wonder if a happy ending might be within her reach yet. If only she can find a way to write that ending as her own.
