Gertrude Sanders is completely devoted to her family and her job as the librarian of the Nowhere, Texas library. When a man starts parking his book wagon outside the library, she makes it her business to force him to leave town. It doesn't take her long to discover that most of the people in town are happier to go to the book wagon than go to the library.
Jed Thorn owns a traveling book wagon, and he's happy to keep traveling, not settling down anywhere. The first time he sees Gertrude, he's certain that she's the woman who God created just for him. He loves everything about her from her prickly personality to her animosity toward him. Will Jed be able to convince Gertrude they're meant to be together? Or will he be forced to move on...without her.
