Welcome to
Rebel Heart Books
We hope you’ll stay a while.
As with many stories, Rebel Heart Books began as a secret dream, an if only, a someday.
Since setting foot in the historic town of Jacksonville, OR over 20 years ago, the setting was the only thing we knew for sure.
Though it’s not necessarily an original idea, it’s the driver for this particular story. We believe that everyone has a bit of a rebel heart; the desire to be or do something different or unexpected.

It’s National Book Lover’s Day and we wanted to take a minute to highlight A Devil Went Down to Georgia by Deb Miller Landau. The arc of this book coming to fruition is long- from the investigative journalism piece the author wrote many years ago, to the book proposal, to the writing and editing, to the acceptance of it by a publisher and finally to making it on the shelves to book lovers. Lita McClinton’s story stayed with one writer and so her story finally found its way out into the world.

As July comes to a close we would like to take a moment to thank every one of you who have shown your support for our little bookstore. You keep independent bookstores like us alive! We could not do it without you, and it’s thanks to you that we were able to celebrate 7 years of Rebel Heart Books this month! We are endlessly grateful!
Much love,

When life has smoke-filled skies, literally and metaphorically, a quiet place and a good book can feel like breathing clean air.
On that same note, we can’t thank the amazing humans out there battling the wildfires enough. Your tireless work saves lives and land and all of us here in the Southern Oregon thank you for all you do!
Please enjoy a few titles/orders we got in yesterday, and most importantly please help keep our wildfire crews out of harm’s way by practicing safety and common sense this summer!
Stay cool out there!❤️
