On the run from a violent past, Leah Allen arrived in tiny Rivertown, South Carolina, battered and broken, but ready to reinvent herself.

Summary
"Some scars don't ever heal . . . They're just too deep."
After barely surviving the brutality of an abusive relationship, Leah Allen follows what is left of her heart to the small South Carolina town of Riverton. Arriving in what could only be described as "death warmed over", she manages to snag a table at a lovely cafe where the food nourishes her body while the proprietor feeds her soul with an unconditional love that Leah only dreamed was possible. As her outward wounds slowly heal, it takes much longer for the ones inside to form a scar. And then along comes Crowley.
This story moves with a tender stealth that serves to magnify the impact of kindness, compassion, and everlasting joy. If only every town had a Lulu's Cafe!
