Stories from Rami's Cafe

By Dr Steven Roberts

Rami's Caf is the quintessential neighborhood caf lunch counter, high-back booths, waitresses, not servers, great food, open only for breakfast and lunch, lots of regulars, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. In some way, each of these stories was written or greatly revised at the counter at Rami's Caf . The stories are filled with interesting characters, plot twists, colorful dialogue, and ahhh and oh no moments: a paperboy and a Madam become best friends that answers secrets about his father; two virtuosos, one a pianist the other a singer, who experienced paralyzing stage fright that ruined their careers, meet serendipitously in the Atlanta airport, a meeting that saves them both; a scared, timid white man takes his injured black friend to a hospital where "coloreds aren't allowed" and defies Jim Crow segregation in 1950s Mississippi; and two sisters, one a drug-dealing, money laundering convict who receives forgiveness, the other a seriously neurotic single mother who find redemption after years of resentment and unbridle rage. These are but four of the stories in this entertaining and compelling collection.
