Coffee shops are where truths are shared, and relationships are built, or sometimes broken. Take a seat in this busy café. Enjoy a cup of coffee and eavesdrop on the drama unfolding around you. Those young people at the next table are on a blind date; the business meeting over there is going awry, and the three old ladies sitting by the window are scheming again.Café Conversations is Reidel's second short story collection. Like her debut book, "We Drank Wine and Other Stories," these linked stories focus on authentic dialogue and rich character development to entertain and engage readers. Her characters will make you laugh out loud while also touching your heart.
