    About this ebook

    B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree and The Wishing Shelf Book Awards 2018 Finalist

     

    It all begins on one frigid, snowy February morning. Mark, a struggling musician, kicked out of his apartment by his girlfriend, finds himself stranded in an offbeat coffee shop in Manhattan. Unbeknownst to Mark, his brother-in-law, John, a successful physician, questioning his life and marriage to Mark's sister, Allison, changes his routine and visits the coffee shop the same morning.

     

    Two sisters run the Java Bean Factory: Sybil, who sees the future, and Emerald, an artist raising a son on her own who hasn't painted since losing her husband in a freak accident. Even though Sybil foresaw Emerald's husband's death in a dream, she can't see why she and her husband can't conceive. Nor does she see the bleak medical prognosis awaiting her.

     

    Decisions have to be made as the fate of these two families merges through a series of coincidences: Van Gogh, a trip to Amsterdam, and the cold.

    J. Schlenker

    J. Schlenker, a late blooming author, lives with her husband out in the splendid center of nowhere in the foothills of Appalachia where the only thing to disturb her writing is croaking frogs and the occasional sounds of hay being cut in the fields. Her first novel, Jessica Lost Her Wobble, published in December 2015, was selected as a finalist in the William Faulkner - William Wisdom Creative Writing Competition. One of her short stories, The Missing Butler, received honorable mention in the first round of the NYC Competition. The Color of Cold and Ice is her second novel. Upcoming Works are: The Innkeeper on the Edge of Paris and The Missing Butler and Other Life Mysteries (A Collection of Short Stories).
