What a great follow-up to Heartbreak Cafe (Dew reviewed!)
Peach Rondell, in the first book, was the mysterious ex-beauty queen who sat daily in the back of the Heartbreak Cafe furiously scribbling in her notebook.
No one knew what she wrote but all suspected she was writing about them. She sat there there thru racism issues in the restaurant, eviction notices, romances blooming and a violent death. Always scribbling.
Now, this is the story from her side of the table. Why she’s there, why she writes all the time, what makes her tick.
But it also shows the first story from another view and if you enjoyed this first book (the Dew most certainly did) this is a great second course.
