The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store

By James McBride

“I would have never dreamed a book about a simple grocery store would make this kind of difference in the world, but love makes everything possible. Books make noise, but love moves the world. It is the greatest story plot imaginable. It lets us heal the world one book at a time.” — James McBride, author of the 2023 Barnes & Noble Book of the Year, The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store
