Tippett's Cafe

About the Book

In the roaring twenties, Flonnie and Jack Tippett are Café owners on Galveston Island off the Texas coast in the Gulf of Mexico. Flonnie, a transplanted Atlanta belle, discovers her independence and strength when Jack’s womanizing leaves her in charge of the Cafe. Jack’s scandalous death and Flonnie’s ability to transform it with a local hero’s epitaph brings her to the attention of Horace Stern, editor of The Galveston Daily News and she develops a life-time commitment. Her love for Horace is matched only by her love for Beth, daughter of her best friend Agatha, who, on her deathbed, leaves Beth in Flonnie’s care. A MUST READ! You won’t put it down.
