Jennifer Lemerand
Rooted in her love for books and her Grosse Ile community, Jennifer Lemerand created The Literary Hideaway to bring both together. A longtime resident, former Kindergarten teacher, and Literacy Coach, Jennifer has always had a passion for stories and the power they hold. After years of nurturing young readers and championing literacy in the classroom, she dreamed of creating a space where that same love for books could be shared with the broader community. The result is The Literary Hideaway, a cozy, welcoming bookshop and coffee nook designed to inspire connection, curiosity, and the quiet joy of getting lost in a good story. Every corner reflects her educator’s heart, her thoughtful eye, and her belief that stories have the power to make us feel at home, no matter where we are.
