Alice Peterson

    Alice's early promise as a tennis player was cut short by rheumatoid arthritis, a formative experience that imbues her fiction with a unique poignancy. While disability is a recurring theme, her work is far from gloomy. Instead, this dimension lends her narratives a profound depth and resonant emotional truth that captivates readers.

He's lost the respect of his family and has none for himself. If it weren't for his brother and friend who run the cafe, he'd be sleeping on the streets. Angus is about ready to give up - until he meets Holly, who sparks something in him. Then Lauren arrives from the homeless shelter.

She's terrified of Angus and Holly. At first. Each of them finds themselves in the Saturday Cafe at a time when they need something to grab hold of. It might have to be each other..."--Publisher.
