What is the role of the bookshop during times of political upheaval? We talk about how we try to contribute to the community around us during difficult times. And Maile reflects on how books can help us better understand loved ones who have passed away. As she reads a book about a man who went blind, she reevaluates her relationship with her deceased dad and how a book she's reading is helping her to connect deeper with him.
