The heart-warming story for bookworms that shows it's never too late to turn the page and start a new chapter.
Helen can't sleep. Her husband's hoarding tendencies have taken over not only their house, but their marriage too, and she needs out. In a moment of desperation, Helen burns her bed, and leaves.
Seeking to rediscover herself, she rather spontaneously seizes the opportunity to buy a run-down secondhand bookstore. But when her two adult sons unexpectedly return home with their own problems, Helen's attempt to turn her life into something out of a literary novel starts to look like more of a comedy of errors.
As quirky characters browse the shelves of The Book Maze, and relationships are put to the test, Helen fights to write her own happy ending to her story.
