When Liz Hoole, a free-spirited liberal from the Midwest, marries into a conservative Quaker family, she knows that raising children in compliance with Quaker values will be challenging. Twenty-five years later, she still feels like she’s falling short of expectations. Fortunately, her faith and her friends in the small, rural North Carolina town of Cedar Branch keep her strong.
After her best friend’s politically powerful father dies, Liz stumbles upon secrets from the past that threaten to unravel the current harmony in Cedar Branch, a town with a history of racial tension. As she researches more and eavesdrops on gossip at the Quaker Café, where everyone meets each morning, Liz soon discovers the truth about an injustice that she cannot reveal to anyone—not even her husband.
Surrounded by a cast of richly drawn Southern characters, Liz learns that even good people can make bad choices. Now, she must decide whether she has the strength to bring a past wrong to light, despite the consequences.

Review
“A Southern charm all its own…Remmes’s story will have readers intrigued in part because much of her tale surrounds the Quaker beliefs in a modern-day world. She presents her characters in life’s funniest yet vulnerable situations, and allows them to work through their challenges page by colorful page.” —Michele Howe, Bookreporter.com
“For those who love a terrific Southern story with fascinating characters and a genuine sense of place, this book is a must.” —Beth Hoffman, New York Times bestselling author of Looking for Me and Saving CeeCee Honeycutt
“Be prepared to laugh, cry, and gasp as you read Brenda Bevan Remmes’s The Quaker Café, an intriguing story whose unique cast of characters with long-held secrets is fractured, then put back together again, piece by healing piece.” —Julie Kibler, bestselling author of Calling Me Home
“While Remmes explores the South of this time and place with affection, tolerance, and a sense of humor, she also shows us the kind of courage it takes to make a difference in our little slices of the world.” —Kathryn E. Lovatt, SC Arts Commission 2013 Prose Fellow, 2012 and 2013 winner of Press 53 Open Award for short fiction
“The Quaker Café tells an engrossing story with humor and sympathy for the people on both sides of a difficult situation.” —Katherine Mccaughan, award-winning author of Natasha Lands Down Under
“A story tinged with just the right Southern sound and sensibility…told with layers of laughter and love and lumps in the throat.” —Marti Healy, author of The Rhythm of Selby
“Cedar Branch could represent any number of places below the Mason-Dixon, each and every one of them offering their own closely-related brand of politics and deference to family lineage.” —Sandy Richardson, author of The Girl Who Ate Chicken Feet
“This is a captivating and touching novel about the intersections of race, class, religion, and ethics in small town North Carolina in the early 1990’s. Remmes neither avoids the really tough questions, nor offers simplistic solutions. The result is a very well-written story with a number of important surprises.” —J. Stephen Rhodes, author of What Might Not Be

The Quaker Cafe has it all: fascinating plot, engaging characters and timely themes
By George Raftelis
The Quaker Cafe stimulates the fiction reader’s interest from numerous perspectives.
First, The Quaker Cafe develops a compelling plot that unfolds in a small town setting in North Carolina where the Quaker theme is always present. The book was educational in that I learned a lot about the Quaker faith and their style. In addition, I basked in my journey through the lives and backgrounds of different characters, the various scenes in the story, and the multiple themes reflected in the book. I also enjoyed how the author integrates humor into a book with clever mysteries and fascinating twists and turns. I found myself laughing out loud many times!
Another one of The Quaker Café’s strong points is the development of its characters. Many of the names are ingenious; their different levels of complexity, uniqueness and depth are intriguing; and their interaction and dialog are fascinating. From Grandma and Grandpa Hoole, to Judge and Maggy Kendall, to Liz and Chase, to Miss Ellie, to Frogbelly, to Luanne and Issac, etc., each character is unique and reflects a complex person for the reader to get to know and enjoy. As I read, the characters jumped off the pages!
Probably one the most interesting attributes of the book is how the author reflects life challenges and themes: racism, faith and religion, honesty and dishonesty, family, love, dying, lust, secrecy, and human frailty. I found myself evaluating these themes in some aspect of my life. Specifically, the book caused me to reflect on life as it really is, and how society's standards are applied in different situations (race relations, religion, family relationships, caring for people who are dying, etc.).
I strongly recommend the book to a variety of audiences. To the light hearted reader, to the reader seeking answers to the complexities of life, or to the reader that just wants to be entertained.

Just Finished - Glad I Read It
By Jim V
I'm a big fan of entering other cultures - and for this Midwestern-raised, adopted New Englander, the South is another culture. Not to mention the world of contemporary Quakerism. The Quaker Café is a joyful read with a carefully crafted story that ends from the heart. It rings true. Read and enjoy!

Absolutely Loved this Book!
By Nina J. Tomasieski
This is a book where the characters will remain with you long after the last chapter - one where you curl up and so love the characters that when you must stop reading, they stay in your thoughts so that picking up the book again is such a reward just to get back into the story. I will not give away the plot, but I can say this book is well-written, keeps moving, and has some really good laughs along the way. Also, I have read many books with Amish influence and this is the first dealing with the Quaker religion. Learned a few things, also, so it’s a win-win book for me. I hope there is a sequel.
