I cannot even describe how much I loved this little book. So inspirational and uplifting! Such an amazing premise. Worth every minute of reading!!

In The Full Moon Coffee Shop, there are several stories of people struggling in their lives. It might be a big struggle, it might be a small challenge, but regardless, there is some reason they are called to the Coffee Shop. 

This is no ordinary coffee shop, though. It is run by cats. Talking cats. Intelligent cats. Cats that represent the planets and the zodiac. And their explanations about how the planets and stars affect us is a revelation to those invited to visit. 

The story comes full circle at the end, with an ending that made me cry. I am not often completely touched by a story, but this one got me to my soul. Every action has a reaction, which is no more evident in this novel. It reminded me a lot of Aesop’s Fables, but in a more modern tone.

Really can’t recommend this enough!!!
