Lulu's Café by T.I. Lowe

5.0

Lulu’s Cafe by T.I. Lowe was an intoxicating piece that brought an abundance of emotions to the surface. At times I wept for the main character, Leah Allen, as she endured being tortured by her husband during his drunken fits of rage. As Leah put it, she was living with the devil himself. There were times when I was on edge, wondering if she would successfully make her escape to the east coast from Olympia, Washington as she had desired, putting as much distance between her and the last gruesome day spent with her husband.

I was awed by the people God had put into Leah’s life on this new journey, even if for a brief moment. At times I broke out laughing along with the jokes and friendly banter of the new friends Leah finds along the way to healing. There were even times when I erupted in laughter while at the same time cried.

This story, the story that starts in Leah’s own personal hell, ends in the most beautiful place she could find herself, a place close enough to heaven for all she endured in her life.

A wonderful book by T.I. Lowe that I would highly recommend.
