THE LIBRARY OF BORROWED HEARTS

Four narrators lend their talents to a love story that spans decades. Leanne Woodward portrays stoic Chloe, a young librarian who is struggling to raise three younger siblings. When she stumbles upon an old book with intriguing marginalia, she strives to uncover the developing love story with the help of Joe Zack, a suave flirt portrayed by Joe Jameson, who makes him completely likable. Bob Ball portrays the curmudgeonly neighbor, Jasper, who may have answers to the story's mysteries. Ball takes Jasper from young and hopeful to old and bitter, all the while portraying him with empathy. Aven Shore depicts independent Catherine, one of the authors of the margin notes, who was asked to make impossible decisions in the 1960s.
