About The Paper House
The Paper House was a shop of wonder, where islanders wrote letters to lost loved ones at Tilly’s long wooden desk. Years later, Kayla reopens her great-aunt’s beloved shop, awakening memories of grief, forgiveness, and unfinished goodbyes. If she can face the ghosts of the past, the place that helped others heal might help her find herself again.
