'My life - my real life - started when a man walked into it, a handsome stranger in a perfectly cut suit, and, yes, I know how that sounds'

For 31-year-old Cornelia Brown, life is a series of movie moments, and 'Jimmy Stewart is always and indisputably the best man in the world, unless Cary Grant should happen to show up'. So imagine Cornelia's delight when her very own Cary Grant walks through the door of the hip Philadelphia caf� in which she works. But when Cornelia meets 11-year-old Clare, their lives are forever changed in unexpected ways . . .

Funny, touching and smart, Love Walked In is a winning tribute to classic film and true romance.
