Gabby embraces her new life and the family she has found in the midst of strangers and obscurity. Acceptance is what she craves, but before long, Gabby realizes she's not the only one in the diner with something to hide.

Some mystery, some danger, some coffee and tears. I read Coffee and Tears front to back, and a month later my recall of the story is very clear. If you read a lot, you know what I'm talking about. :) So two thumbs up for Coffee and Tears. ~ Anne Frasier - New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Elise Sandburg Series, Hush, Sleep Tight, Before I wake, and Pale ImmortalGood fast read, enjoyable beach reading! ~ Joanna Daneman - #1 Hall of Fame Top 10 Reviewer Vine Voice
