The Dewey Decimal System of Love — Josephine Carr

For questions about the science of the heart and how it beats, go to the 616.12's and for questions about the philosophy of the heart, go to the 700.4's [ms. pg 223]

Ally Skinner doesn't fall into any category...

Forget those stereotypes about librarians. With long auburn hair and perfect skin, Ally looks half her age of forty. And even though she's been celibate for fifteen years, she doesn't live a monastic life.
