Return to Hometown Bookstore

After being laid off, she returned to the small town with a few books and opened a bookstore that no one was interested in. Starting with a cup of tartary buckwheat tea, she heard the forgotten stories of the old people and truly lived in a place for the first time. This is a tender story about escape and return, listening and being seen - it turns out that healing is never something a place can give you, but that you are finally willing to stop and listen to a person finish what he has to say.
