Roastmaster

A Coffee Novel

The seventh sister is over the moon for a Costa Rican coffee farmer.... In the spring of 1984, John Mallory, the seventh sister in a coffee family, dies a legend when she is uprooted from Kansas City and travels to a coffee farm in Costa Rica to become a Roastmaster. Now, 18 years later, Capri is connected to her dead aunt through a surreal sense of smell. When Capri runs away with her boyfriend, she unearths John Mallory’s story and the myth of the Pleiades, a cluster of blue stars known as the Seven Sisters. But her quirky mother, grandfather, and five aunts fear love will also lead Capri to an early grave. A tale for those who know magic can be found in the bean of a fruit. Roastmaster was a Novello Literary Award Finalist.
