Coffee Shop

Everyone thinks he's guilty. One waitress thinks otherwise- but not for the reasons you'd expect. Once a distinguished professor, Harold now lives under a cloud of suspicion, burdened by scandal, betrayal, and a murder charge that shattered his life. His best friend is dead. He had to divorce his wife. DNA tests reveal his children were never his. To the suburb of Scranton, it's clear: Harold had motive- and means. Now a recluse, Harold finds fragile refuge in a quiet Coffee Shop, sipping hot brews and burying himself in daily newspaper, while the world continues to judge him in silence. But Roda Camila, an undocumented migrant and waitress, sees what others overlook. She knew Professor Harold is innocent- a truth far more complex. Coffee Shop is a quiet burn literary suspense about guilt, exile, and the fragile humanity found in unlikely places.
