'Delightful! Absolutely delightful!... A story about friendship, family, new beginnings, and love, this book left me with such a warm, fuzzy feeling, and was a joy to read' Reader review

Three unlikely friends. One chance to save the community. It might just be the perfect blend....

The Marjorie Marshall Memorial Cafeteria is at the heart of St Jude's Hospital. Staffed by successive generations of dedicated volunteers, for over fifty years the beloved cafeteria has been serving up a kind word and sympathetic ear along with tea and scones.

Hilary, the stalwart Manageress, has worked her way up through the ranks; Joy, the latest recruit, is driving Hilary mad by arriving late every day; and seventeen-year-old Chloe, the daughter of two successful surgeons, is volunteering in the holidays and bemused by the older women.

But when they discover the cafeteria is under threat of closure, the unlikely trio must put aside their differences. As they realise the secrets and sorrows they have in common, the women grow closer - but can they bring the community together and save the day?

Full of wisdom and warmth, this is a gorgeously poignant, hilarious story about unlikely friendships, growing old disgracefully, and coming together to save the things we love. Fans of Judy Leigh, Jill Mansell and Sally Page will be hooked from the very first page.
