Lone Star Cafe
Publishers Weekly
The second book in Wingate's Texas trilogy (after Texas Cooking) serves up a charmingly nostalgic treat. Virginia-based publishing executive Laura Draper goes to Texas to face-lift a newly acquired magazine. Reeling from the project's endless snags, a sudden breakup with her boyfriend and her widowed dad's depression, Laura is in crisis when a detour leads her to a tiny rural spot called the Crossroads, where two elderly sisters run an old-fashioned caf . She is powerfully drawn to the timeless values the Crossroads represents reminders of her own abandoned dreams and her late mother's wisdom as well as to local Graham Keeton, a former military pilot shadowed by a mysterious grief.
