A call for help for the owner of a beloved, long-running neighborhood bookstore in Oakland following illness and a downturn in business on the heels of the pandemic.
The owner of a beloved neighborhood bookstore in Oakland is in need of help as she’s struggled with health issues and has been fighting to keep her doors open. Kathleen Caldwell’s A Great Good Place for Books is located in the heart of Montclair Village and has long served as a cozy sanctuary for book lovers of all ages.
Heading up the fundraising effort was Caldwell’s friend and award-winning writer Gayle Forman, author of New York Times bestseller "If I stay." "Two years ago, Kathleen fell ill with a serious case of sepsis, and while being treated, doctors discovered she had cancer. She had four surgeries in one year, followed by a year of treatment and recovery," Forman shared on GoFundMe, noting that her friend has been cancer-free for one year.
