A midcareer upset turns Earl's life upside down. Seeking a willing ear, he develops a friendship with an eighty-three-year-old palm reader who works at Mike's Magic Burgers-a restaurant where the food and some of the people are magic. She uses her palm reader's skill and wisdom to give him simple guidance that could lead him to happiness. While other patrons of Mike's Magic Burgers embrace change, Earl resists. Will Earl accept a new vision of life or cling to the notions that are making him unhappy? Mike's Magic Burgers speaks to anyone who has had to search for their place in the world. The story unfolds in a series of vignettes that explore the ordinariness of magic and how we choose to live our lives. This is an enchanting, one-of-a-kind book.
This book is one of my favorites. I’ve read it a couple times. It is like Alice in Wonderland and the Wizard of Oz with the journey it takes you through. If you want something fun to escape to buy this book and share it with others!
