TV: Hallmark Channel's Bookshop Valentine

The Story of Us, a new movie that is part of the Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Valentine's Day programming, premieres February 9. TVInsider reported that this story "of a little bookstore and rekindling love from the past takes place in Waterford, Ore., where Maggie Lawson (Psych, The Ranch, Angel from Hell) plays Jamie, whose love of books and romance made her buy one of the town's oldest businesses, True Love Books and Café. However, True Love Books, along with countless other stores in the district are struggling, with many closing one after the other."

Enter Sawyer O'Dell (Sam Page), "who comes home after years as an architect with a developer's mission to modernize and upscale the business district.... As Valentine's Day approaches and closure of these historic stores seems imminent, Jamie hatches a heartfelt plan. Behind a bookshelf she finds a box with 'The Story of Us' written in script across the front. Inside are many handwritten Valentines from past customers who found their true love at True Love Books. She showcases these prized time-worn cards to remind people of both the store's and town's history."
