The Paper House, a little stationery store in Long Island brimming with colorful paper and pots of ink, is the only connection Kayla has left to her Great Aunt Tilly.

Inheriting it reminds Kayla of her childhood sitting on the long wooden desks inside, sealing letters and tying parcels with beautiful ribbons. But it also brings back everything she has lost, including the boy she once thought she would spend the rest of her life with. She cannot bear to set foot there again…

Until she receives a call that something strange is going on in the store. The locals believe that Tilly could send letters to their loved ones, even if they were dead. They believe the magic is about to be lost forever and beg her to return.

Kayla cannot hide from the truth anymore. She will have to face the past to save Tilly’s legacy.

But in this enchanted place full of hope and wonder, she might also find herself again…

A compelling and captivating novel full of heart, imagination and magic, The Paper House is perfect for fans of The Lost Bookshop, The Glass House and The Keeper of Lost Things.
