Publisher's Synopsis
What does a girl do if she has a soldier husband suffering from PTSD, or an abusive boyfriend, a recently Goth teenage daughter growing more distant every day, a callous and unfaithful life partner, or a guilty conscience (and gluten intolerance!) keeping her from the man of her dreams? She calls up her BFFs and vents over coffee and cake / gluten-free brownies of course! At least, that's what five Aussie friends calling themselves The Cafe Birds do....
Paige's marriage to a PTSD-afflicted soldier and her newly established business both hover on the brink, but will the solution to one push the other over the edge? A devastating discovery rocks the foundations of Caitlin's world, thrusting her into the arms of an unconventional - did someone say imaginary? - new friend. Burdened with a generous helping of secrets, a bad-tasting batch of guilty conscience, and a disagreeable serving of gluten intolerance, dinner party doyenne Megan has a lot on her plate. As does lonely widow Nita, who feels her life and relationship with her recently 'Goth' teenage daughter have come adrift. And gorgeous Grace appears permanently typecast as trophy girlfriend to a succession of unworthy suitors, a situation that can't go on forever - not if her friends can help it!
It's a no-fail recipe: in five pretty cafes blend women friends and their modern-day dramas with to-die-for coffees and scrumptious cakes, and serve.
Bon appétit!
