How can people connect during moments of loneliness? This is the story of Joan Liang, a woman who moves across the world to America, and in trying to answer these questions builds a wildly original life.\n\nJoan’s life is a series of unexpected events: she never thought she would live in California, nor did she expect her first marriage to implode—especially as quickly and spectacularly as it did. She definitely did not expect to fall in love with an older, wealthy American man and become his fourth wife and mother to his youngest children.\n\nJoan and her children grow older, and one day she makes a drastic change: she opens the Satisfaction Café, a place where customers can find connection through conversation. With humor and grace, Joan creates a space for meaningful relationships and constructs a lasting legacy.\n\nVivid, comic, and profoundly moving, The Satisfaction Café is a novel about found family,the joy and loneliness that come with age, andhow we can seek satisfaction at any stage oflife. This is a novel of tremendous pleasures:sentences that teem with rich observations,wonderful plotting, and, in Joan, a protagonistfor the ages.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1668068923\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1668068923.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Wang, Kathy\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
