As the story unfolds, Flora has been living in London for a few years working as a paralegal. She moved to London after the death of her mother because she couldn't handle living in Mure, a tiny Scottish Village, and the responsibilities she'd inherited. She left behind her father, four brothers and their century old farm for the city. In London, Flora believed she can reinvent herself, run from her past and bury the pain of her mother's death. After her boss Joel (whom she has a major crush on) is hired by a very wealthy investor named Colton, who just happens to own property in Mure, Flora is summoned back to her little village to help Colton win over the local community. Flora dreads the reunion she must have with her family but it's exactly what she needs. She comes to realize that she can't run from her past, her heritage or her family anymore--and just maybe life on Mure is better than she originally thought. While in Mure, Flora meets another man too--a handsome islander named Charlie. Find out if Flora stays on Mure? Find out which man she chooses and just what the cafe on the sea really is when you read this easy book of about 390 pages. It sounds like a commitment but it's really a simple read --or 4 mile run that you will really enjoy.

September 27, 2017 LIVIN' ON A PRAYER
Getting back to the business of living. But how?? I always find it a bit unsettling. The world keeps spinning--people are arguing, driving, texting, stopping for coffee--TIME STOPS FOR NO ONE. I want to yell--Hey don't you know that someone important just died?? Doesn't it matter? Of course it does--BUT--the REALITY is this-- the people who saw him or talked to him on a regular basis will be affected the MOST. They are the ones who will feel it every SECOND--MINUTE--HOUR--of the day. It's a pain that never goes away--it SUBSIDES with time-- but is always there--LURKING at the surface. This is the risk we take when we love--A risk well worth taking too. Only by experiencing great love can we feel its counterpart. LOSS AND SADNESS. So the business of living??? Appreciate every day on this Earth. Be kind--forgiving- thankful for the life you've been given. Honor the ones you've lost this way as a TRIBUTE to them. Flora MacKenzie, the main character in Jenny Colgan's new book The Cafe by the Sea has to grapple with loss too after the death of her beloved mother.
