Sara, a young woman from Sweden, arrives in a small town of Iowa, named Broken Wheel. The name of the town is as quirky as its people. She wants to meet Amy, an elderly lady, who has been her pen - pal for quite some time. When an unexpected event changes Sara's plans, she decides to stay in this strange town and share her deep love for books with the residents of Broken Wheel. She shows them that, perhaps, Literature has some solutions to their problems (no matter how big or small), while she struggles to step away from her comfort zone, to find her own answers and discover herself.

It is a heart-warming story, full of lively, interesting characters, an apotheosis of the way our love for reading can influence, even change, our lives.
