Lulu‘s Cafe

Some scars are too deep to ever heal, Leah Gabriella Allen whispered in hushed anguish.The orphaned young woman knows all too well about scars...a thick burn spanning her left palm...a deep rigid scar adorning her right hip...a scar etched across her bottom lip...There were countless more, exposed as well as hidden deep within. After years of foster and group home instability, Gabriella naively falls in the thorny arms of the abusive Brent Sadler. The constant bruise of cruelty is ever present in their ten years of marriage - beatings that riddle her body and then being locked away in a closet when Brent grows weary of looking at the damage.One last momentous beating ends with two deaths and changes Gabriella‘s life forever. She stumbles away within an inch of her own life and begins a journey to an unexpected southern home which is none other than Lulu‘s Café, where she tries to mend her severed spirit.
