Comments - In Which We Buy a Bookstore
Yesterday we bought a bookstore. We are now the proud owners of Nooks, a wonderful little place on North Prince Street in Lancaster. I’m stunned. Nervous. Excited. Amazed. Talk about The Surrender Experiment? This is it. When I was around eight years old, we lived in an old farmhouse in the middle of hundreds of acres of cornfields, in Lancaster, PA. I was the tenth generation of my family to be born and raised in the area. There was an old Mennonite church and cemetery on the other side of the barely-two-lanes back road, and beyond that a stream, and beyond that anything we could imagine. My Amish friend Daniel and I would ford the stream and explore the distant, abandoned mill, build dams in the creek and fish until the sun went down and the solitary light in the church parking lot winked on. Then I ran home through the thick summer dusk.
