An exciting debut novel set in the exotic, bustling streets of coastal China'a woman whose life is restored when she opens a small cafรฉ and gains the courage to trust what's in her heart.Macau: the bulbous nose of China, a peninsula and two islands strung together like a three-bead necklace. It was time to find a life for myself. To make something out of nothing. The end of hope and the beginning of it too.
After moving with her husband to the tiny, bustling island of Macau, Grace Miller finds herself a stranger in a foreign land'a lone redhead towering above the crowd on the busy Chinese streets.
As she is forced to confront the devastating news of her infertility, Grace's marriage is fraying and her dreams of family have been shattered. She resolves to do something bold, something her impetuous mother would do, and she turns to what she loves: baking and the pleasure of afternoon tea.
Grace opens a cafรฉ where she serves tea, coffee, and macarons'the delectable, delicate French cookies colored like precious stones'to the women of Macau. There, among fellow expatriates and locals alike, Grace carves out a new definition of home and family.
