Publisher's summary

“Some scars are too deep to ever heal”, Leah Gabriella Allen whispered in hushed anguish.

The orphaned young woman knows all too well about scars...a thick burn spanning her left palm...a deep rigid scar adorning her right hip...a scar etched across her bottom lip.... There were countless more, exposed as well as hidden deep within. After years of foster and group home instability, Gabriella naively falls in the thorny arms of the abusive Brent Sadler. The constant bruise of cruelty is ever present in their 10 years of marriage - beatings that riddle her body and then being locked away in a closet when Brent grows weary of looking at the damage.

One last momentous beating ends with two deaths and changes Gabriella’s life forever. She stumbles away within an inch of her own life and begins a journey to an unexpected southern home which is none other than Lulu’s Café, where she tries to mend her severed spirit.

Lulu is the petite charismatic southern belle with a strong unshakable faith. She wisely takes on the challenge of helping the young woman heal her broken body as well as her shattered spirit. She enlists the support of the enchanting southern gentleman, Crowley J. Mason IV, whose ocean blue eyes seem to hypnotize Leah (as they know her) from the start. Leah is an unwanted stranger in Crowley’s quaint southern town of Rivertown, South Carolina. He holds her at arm’s length as he tries to decipher the mystery of her recent past. Before the young lawyer realizes it, he finds Leah tucked protectively in his arms. He wants nothing more than to help her heal...if she would just trust enough to let him in.

Lulu’s Café interlaces human failures and sheds light on the paths that lead out of them.

Love heals the wounds

I didn't like the severe abuse that took place during the first part of the story. I liked the character development and loved the ending. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a really decent love story.

Beautiful Story

Such great writing! I nearly stopped listening because of the awful abuse. I'm so glad that I finished this book.

Another sweet book by T I Lowe

Sweet and inspirational! This story is a triumph over evil and shows that with God’s help we can overcome
the most painful situations.

Loved it!

I loved this book and audiobook! I will read every one of T. I. Lowe’s books. The narration on her audiobooks is excellent!
They are clean reads.

Wow what a book!

From the beginning to the end this book with have you glued in your seat not wanting to stop listening to the words afraid you’d miss something. Many times while listening to the story I had tears in my eyes. It’s not easy to hear how some people are treated so badly in life but it happens. I’m grateful that God took the main character and gave her a very happy ending. The narrator did an amazing job bringing the story to life.

Great storyline and clean

Loved this quick listen and did not want it to end! Epitome of southern charm!

Captivating and Emotional Rollercoaster

This story pulls you in so well that you will feel as though you are an eyewitness to the entirety of its horrific, emotional, transcending, and blissful events.

Pretty good story, horrible narration and southern draws

Honestly the story was pretty good. The narration of southern draws is absolutely horrible. Almost had me quitting several time.

wonderful

Amazing story, well read. Captivated me from start to finish. Off to hunt for more by this author

Crawly

Crawly sounds like a old , old man...at least to me. The voice did not fit the way I pictured him in my head. Most of the male voices were the same. The story makes him out to be a male in his early 30's. He is described as very attractive, breath taking. As hard as I tried I couldn't match the voice of Crawl to the image portrayed as Crawl. I thought the voice for Lea was amazing. Lulu sounded much older than I think she was supposed to be conveyed as well as Ann.
Other than these conflicts, I loved the story. Heart breaks brokenness is ...it has a beautiful ending!
