Javahouse Journals: Gatherings over a cup of coffee
Author: Valli Keller
Part of our love affair with coffee seems to be tied up in the ritual and the history of drinking it. From the moment we become self-determining young adults and we begin to develop a sense of who we are and where we fit into our world, we love the intimate luxury of the time we can take with friends over a cup of coffee. In that coffeehouse haven, cradling that bitter, sweetened or flavored cup we discover our lives unfolding. We share an explosion of ideas, beliefs, troubles and triumphs at that café table while hovering over the rising mists of our java’s curling steam. We hold intimate chats with trusted friends and we learn that there are as many ways to live a good life as there are people to live them. This powerful and stimulating book entices readers to discover the best parts of themselves over a steaming cup of their favorite brew. Grab this book, hold onto your seat and enjoy the magnificent adventure.
