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.

      "Holly's husband died, and she's lonely. She needs to do something to save herself, quickly. Next thing she knows she's interviewing for a voluntary cooking job, surprised to be ambushed by a scruffy man who looks like he has a past. Angus has messed up. 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 came to London with nothing but an old train ticket, a teddy bear, and the clothes on her back. With no family, no home, no friends, she doesn't know what love is. People scare her. 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.
