Since the bookstore she had worked at for years was at the peak of closing due to audiobooks, kindles and e-readers, Clara had been becoming more distant with friends and eventually depression had begun invading her life. Clara had been filling her time at work trying to encourage people on social media to support their local businesses and shop in local stores again. As much as it helped and many people began returning to the store again it was sadly short lived, publicity died down again, and the rush of sales was not nearly enough to support the business any longer. Her manager Danielle also her best friend, only a few years older than herself. Her father was the owner of the business but was unfortunately too ill to continue working and with his immense medical bills the family’s businesses were slowly being liquidated to support them. The bookstore was one of the final places they had left and had only managed to survive due to Clara and Danielle’s determination and commitment to keep real books alive.
