On a personal note, Page and Petals was one of my favorite local businesses.

Jackie took the time to get to know her customers and created an amazing space for readers. I remember giving her a list of the books I enjoyed.

She went above and beyond to hand pick a few books that she thought I would like...she nailed it. I love western romances now...Thanks, Jackie!
