Pages : 225
Book Description
Set in the colorful backdrop of the Arizona-Mexico border, CafE Dulcet is an insightful story that follows Ximena "Nena" Ferrer through a closely-knit series of past and present events in her life. A captivating, female-character-driven, contemporary drama that draws on a diverse array of characters to complement Nena's strong yet quirky personality, CafE Dulcet is a flavorful discovery of the similarities between coffee beans and people as they go through the processes that test inherent natures and strengths, and ultimately shape and give them their flavor and purpose. CafE Dulcet is also a reminder that no matter how foreign people's lives may seem -- their language, their experiences, their culture, their place in the world -- there is always a point of convergence. Coffee, with its global, all-senses-evoking qualities, oftentimes serves as that unifying factor.

"I am not going back to that Communist hell. My country is not there anymore." Standing on the deck of a military transport ship, demanding entry into the United States, Pancho Nakashev, a noted Bulgarian pharmacist and inventor, was delivering a speech in broken English on the evils of communism. His daughter Lilliana stepped forward. She knew that defying her father would land her in trouble, but understood that the wrong answer could send them back to the war torn, occupied nation. No, she told the official. My father is here on a three-month visa. We will return to Sofia when his business is concluded.She did not mention his three other children and five grandchildren left behind. She didn't talk about hearing the siren, fleeing their home, or looking back to see their house bombed to rubble. She couldn't speak about how peace was shattered again for her in the safe village they found, after she was claimed by the local gangster. She may have believed that they would someday return to Bulgaria. Despite the hardships, it was the songs she sang with friends and the close family ties she craved. From a privileged, upper class family, she would become a businesswoman at a time when women did not yet run businesses, in a new place called "suburbia." A pampered daughter and teased youngest sister, she would become her parents' sole support and a lifeline to older siblings left behind. As a mother, she would not let her own children experience need. As a wife, she would devote herself to the sweet man from a tiny village who one day said "hello" to her at a New York City bus stop.Lilliana Seibert's story, "Between Two Worlds," written just as she turned 88, is a thrilling and vivid account of her many personal experiences, the times in which she lived, and the spirit that sustains us all when we need it the most.
