Ritual and Rebirth

Twelve years of literary drought. She has a strange winter ritual that leads her into a summer of grumbling at tourists and avoidance. He has returned home to open his grandfather's book store, see the ocean, jump start his life again. She is a curmudgeon. He is an optimist. She is hiding. He is seeking. Can this writer, this architect and a cage in the front window of a book store lead to a lasting romance?Most likely not, the shelves are stacked against them, but, then again, who would have thought The Odessy would have caught on like it did.
