99 CENTS: An Order of Coffee and Tears by Brian Spangler

Angela's Diner has the reputation of a safe haven where patrons find a moment of peace as they linger over coffee and tears. For one young runaway, Angela's is more than a place to tell your tale -- it's a place where with the magic of chicken and waffles, and a little bit of trust, may just save your life.

Gabriella Santiago used to be a typical teenager who enjoyed the usual teenage things. That is until a single tragic day ended who she was and within hours she ran from home, never to look back.

Only when Gabby is cold, hungry and at her lowest, does she find Angela's Diner. 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. Her new family has a secret too, and some secrets refuse to stay buried.

BOOK REVIEW: An Order of Coffee and Tears by Brian Spangler

An Order of Coffee and Tears  

by Brian Spangler 

(Click here for UK purchase)

RATING: 4 ¼ stars

Review by Mary Smith-Fuller

Angela’s Diner is more than a culinary throwback to a bygone era.  It is a sanctuary for those in need of a hot meal, a sympathetic ear, or a safe place in which to begin again. Runaway Gabriella Santiago was in desperate need of the later when she arrived in Philadelphia a year ago.  The diner’s Help Wanted sign was a beacon of hope that shined as bright as the retro neon signs adorning the place.  Kindly Ms. Potts and Clark, the cook, not only gave Gabby a job, but a place to call home within their close-knit little family.

Gabby loves her new life far away from the troubled secrets of her past.  Little does she realize, however, that her new family members harbor secrets of their own.  Now the past has returned to haunt everyone at Angela’s Diner, and it threatens to destroy their future.

An Order of Coffee and Tears is an exceptionally clever combination of page-turning suspense and heart-wrenching drama.  The various plot twists keep the reader anxiously guessing, while Mr. Spangler’s endearing cast of unique characters generate strong feelings of concern and sympathy for each of their individual situations.  These individual conflicts are seamlessly combined and made into a single cohesive story which is very easy to follow.

Mr. Spangler also demonstrates a surprising and empathetic understanding of a damaged woman’s multi-faceted psyche.  The central character is the perfect blend of fragility and strength.  Despite having suffered horrendous losses, she finds the fortitude to continue on and do what she needs to do in order to survive.  She is a character that many women, and possibly men, can relate to.

With An Order of Coffee and Tears, Brian Spangler has painted a brilliant portrait of family unity overcoming adversity.  It is a very enjoyable read that will keep the reader engaged from start to finish.

REVIEWS

5.0 out of 5 stars Order "An Order of Coffee and Tears" September 9, 2012

By Crazyforbooks

Format:Kindle Edition

The second published novel by Brian Spangler is very different from his first book, but just as intriguing and fast-paced. It is written from the viewpoint of a 26 year old woman and set mainly in Philadelphia. As a woman (slightly - haha) older than 26 (well, I remember what it was like to be 26), Spangler's POV rings true. The story will hook you and then you will enjoy the various characters as well. The last third of the book was especially captivating as many threads get tied together. If you enjoy a good story and interesting characters who have their own individual stories, you will enjoy this book. Order "An Order of Coffee and Tears" today!
