The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul: A Novel
Sunny is an energetic American living in Kabul; her pride and joy is the
coffee shop she runs for expats, whose stories filter through her daily
life. When Yazmina, a young woman from a remote village, is kidnapped, then left on a city street pregnant and alone, Sunny gives her a home - but all Yazmina wants is to find a way to rescue her sister from the same fate. Into the coffee shop, and Yazminaıs and Sunnyıs lives, comes Candace, a wealthy American who uses her connections to make a difference in the womenıs circumstances, then ends up needing help herself; Isabel, a determined journalist with a secret that might keep her from the biggest story of her life; and Halajan, the den mother, whose long-hidden love affair breaks all the rules - and threatens to turn her own son against her. As these women gather and discover that thereıs more to one another than meets the eye, theyıll form a bond that will change not only their own lives but the lives of an entire community.
