Tajemství kavárny na pobřeží
Tajemný dopis. Nečekaná nabídka. A šance konečně se posunout dál
Laskavý román o naději, lásce a zázracích všedních dnů, kde každá ulička malého pobřežního města skrývá své tajemství
Když Ava Harrisonová obdrží měsíc po náhlé smrti svého expřítele dopis s neobvyklou pracovní nabídkou, má pocit, jako by ji snad pronásledoval jeho duch. Zvláštní inzerát na místo domácí ošetřovatelky v alabamském Driftwoodu jí však nabízí jedinečnou možnost začít nový život. Ačkoliv měla Ava vždy hrůzu z cestování, všechny – a nejvíc samu sebe – překvapí rozhodnutím odhodit strach a vydat se do dalekého přímořského městečka.
Maggie Mae Brightwellová, na první pohled energická majitelka kavárny Magpie’s – driftwoodského podniku spojujícího voňavou kávu a svět kuriozit –, zase dokáže propojit staré s novým takovým způsobem, že vytváří téměř hmatatelnou magii. Pod veselou maskou však skrývá bolest: horečnatou prací se snaží přehlušit smutek po smrti maminky i obavy o stárnoucího otce.
Ava a Maggie brzy zjistí, že je pojí víc, než by čekaly – obě pronásledují výčitky a tíha nenaplněných možností. Aby našly svou vlastní cestu, musí se naučit zapomenout na minulost a vykročit vpřed. Protože někdy vás vlny změn donesou přesně tam, kam opravdu patříte.
„Život je příliš krátký, křehký a vzácný na to, abychom se schovávali ve stínech nerealizovaných snů. Když se budete neustále ohlížet zpět, můžete snadno přehlédnout příležitosti, které leží přímo před vámi.“

Porlik, mint a szikla (Éldekorált kiadás)
Ilont és két testvérét egészen a magyar fővárosig menekíti Székelyföldről édesapjuk. Talán az emlékek elől, feledni a borzalom éjszakáját, s végre elhallgattatni az ablakba újra és újra leszálló kuvik hangját. Félrevert harangok zúgása közepette hagyják el az ezeréves szülőhazát. De nem csupán ellehetetlenített életük roncsait viszik magukkal a szekéren, hanem egy súlyos családi titkot is.
Ilon mélyre, nagyon mélyre temeti magában a múltat, évtizedekig nem beszél róla sem lányának, sem unokájának, Amandának. Őt nem is foglalkoztatja a család története, jól kereső, sikeres üzletasszonyként csak a jelenben, a jelennek él.
A város széli villa mellett lassan lakópark nő ki a földből, új emberek érkeznek, új barátságok szövődnek, s Amanda végül rádöbben, milyen keveset tud a családról, önmagáról... És akkor Ilon mesélni kezd. Feltámad a múlt, az emlékek, melyeknek nyomába eredve Amanda nemcsak a megbékéléshez nélkülözhetetlen igazságot, hanem a szerelmet és önmagát is megtalálja.
Egymásra találhat-e lélekben egy nagymama és unokája, akiknek élete annyiban különbözik egymástól? Mennyire tud megnyílni a háborúkat megélt idős asszony a fiatal, munkájának élő nőnek? Találkozik-e valaha múlt és jelen? Tud-e nyitni egymás világára két ennyire különböző nő?
Sorsfordító történelmi események, szívekben megőrzött legendák, vérzivataros időkön átmentett hagyományok - egy család több generációjának megindító és elgondolkodtató históriája Bauer Barbara legújabb regényében.
"Égtek a lármafák, világítottak az őrtüzek. Sorra lobbantak be a szurkos szalmacsóvával bekötözött karcsú fenyők a hegy gerincén. Mondhattam volna, hogy szép, ahogy a távoli pontok ragyognak az ezeréves határon, de hallottam már, mit jelent ez. Megijedtem. Elejtettem a kannát, a víz szerteszét folyt. Anyám is kilépett a konyhaajtón, és ahogy jött felénk, eldobta a rongyot, amit a kezében tartott, és a szája elé kapta a kezét.
- Istenem, segíts!"
