review 1: Just finished this one and it is a keeper. Takes the reader from Gabby's firts years as a waitress at Angela's Diner to years later. I'd live to visit a place like Angela's Diner where the waitresses know their regulars and always are ready to lend an ear whatever your problem. They really are a family, tho not related by blood. This book is one that stays with you and I read a lot of books so that is unusual. I'd read more if this were a series of if Brian S wrote more in this genre.The title comes from customers who come in for coffee (or hot cocoa) and spill their troubles to a sympathetic waitress, often with tears.It isn't Christian. Nobody quotes the bible, there is one instance of rough language but the characters are likeable and always do the right thing. Ends on... more a high note, too.This is one I'll be re-reading next year probably it's that good.
review 2: An 'Order of Coffee and Tears' is a well paced, interesting story about the patrons and workers at a small diner where people congregate for meals and conversation. The entire book takes place within the confines of a diner. You learn more about the characters as they reflect on the drama of their past and present lives. The close-knit group includes a former teen runaway-now an adult working as a waitress, a beautiful woman who is caught in the cycle of abuse by a husband that she still loves, a woman with a long-held deadly secret that threatens her and another member of the dinner staff, the owner of the diner who is newly diagnosed with the condition that took his mother's life ... among other patrons who pass through the diner and share their stories over coffee. Its an interesting premise that holds your attention while drawing you closer to the characters as you learn more about them. less
