Can grace and love be found amongst coffee grounds?

Sonja Parker is about to find out.

Excited to leave her stale life in the big city behind, Sonja takes the money her grandmother left her and purchases Libby’s Cuppa Joe, a thriving coffee shop in a small community in Wisconsin’s Door County. Sonja may have business sense, but is she ready to face the world on her own?

Sonja soon discovers owning a business requires more than offering a good cup of coffee. She must make major repairs to the building as well as major repairs to her heart. Do the former owners, Libby and Joe hold the answer? As Sonja seeks to make Libby’s Cuppa Joe a viable business, can she also find herself and the God she has abandoned?

Libby’s Cuppa Joe is a riveting tale of second chances, forgiveness, and not living on borrowed faith.

My Thoughts:

Such a cute book with a great message.  I have not read any of Rebecca Waters other books but might just want to now.  The book read quickly and though it never had any areas of high suspense or mystery, it was wonderful.

Sometimes I like a mystery book.  A book full of suspense to keep me on pins and needles and not want to go to sleep.  Sometimes I really just want a nice calm feel-good read.  That is this book.  Calm, feel good and balm to my soul.  

There are a few spots where you get goosebumps though.  This is one of those books that you keep around when you need a calm read.  

Libby and Joe started a coffee shop in their remote Door County village.  But the shop has to be sold when Libby passes away and Joe goes to a retirement home.  Sonja buys the shop so she can fulfill her dreams of having her own business and being closer to her parents.  But she knows nothing about coffee!

As Sonja learns about the area, meets her neighbors, and learns the ropes of owning her own business she learns somethings about herself too.  For one, she has lousy taste in men.  And maybe she should have listened to that old next door neighbor who is pretty reclusive.  

I really don’t want to give away the story, but I loved this book.  Definitely a recommend.  And there is a delicious coffee recipe hidden within the pages of this book just like it was hidden in Libby’s book.  And so is the mystery of Judy and Joe hidden within this book as well.
