The Last Draft Club
When Mara Keane inherits the failing paperback shop her aunt ran in a small Irish town, she plans to sell it before the debts catch up with her. Instead, she agrees to host a weekly writing group in the back room, only to find that the man helping her keep the place afloat is the same editor she once embarrassed at a publishing conference.
