Under what was left of the roof of the ruined cottage, a girl with
pigtails perched on a pile of rubble, hunched over a book...
1918: As the Great War rages, Jessie Carson takes a leave of absence
from the New York Public Library to work for the American Committee for
Devastated France, a group of women determined to rebuild devastated
French communities just miles from the front. Upon arrival, Jessie
strives to establish something that the French have never seen -
children's libraries. She turns ambulances into bookmobiles and trains
the first French female librarians. Then she disappears.
1987: When NYPL librarian and aspiring writer Wendy Peterson stumbles
across a passing reference to Jessie Carson in the archives, she
becomes consumed with learning her fate. In her obsession, she
discovers that she and the elusive librarian have more in common than
their work at New York's famed library, but she has no idea their paths
will converge in surprising ways across time.
