In five pretty cafés, blend women friends and their modern day dramas with to-die-for coffees and scrumptious cakes and serve. Bon appétit! Five Aussie friends calling themselves the 'Cafe Birds' meet regularly to share the ups and downs of life, love, and bird ownership over skinny and not-so-skinny cappuccinos and cake. Paige's marriage to a PTSD-afflicted soldier and her newly established business both hover on the brink, but will the solution to one push the other over the edge? A devastating discovery rocks the foundations of Caitlin's world, thrusting her into the arms of an unconventional - did someone say imaginary? - new friend. Burdened with a generous helping of secrets, a bad-tasting batch of guilty conscience, and a disagreeable serving of gluten intolerance, dinner party doyenne Megan has a lot on her plate. As does lonely widow Nita, who feels her life and relationship with her recently 'Goth' teenage daughter have come adrift. And gorgeous Grace appears permanently typecast as trophy girlfriend to a succession of unworthy suitors, a situation that can't go on forever - not if her friends can help it! Readers of THE CAFE BIRDS had this to say: 'It made me laugh.' 'It made me cry.' 'It made me hungry.' It's LITERAL "chick" lit!' 'It made me want to meet ALL my girlfriends in a pretty café and laugh, cry and eat.'

Den dag vores fineste paradoks kom til verden, følte jeg det hele styrtede i grus alt det jeg, og vi, sammen havde opbygget…. Jeg oplevede pludselig verden omkring mig, som værende en mur af uigennemsigtig tåge der var ufattelig svær at gennembryde. Min bog handler om en mors, -min rejse og beretning om de første syv år med vores unikke handicappede datter, Victoria Hope, i hånden. En skøn datter med diagnoserne infantil autisme, cerebral parese, epilepsi, CVI, nystagmus, middelsvær retardering og desuden, i kufferten til rejsen frem, at værende meget sensitiv, sårbar og svagtseende. Alle udfordringer afstedkommet af massive hjerneblødninger. Det var hårdt at tage læring på den barske måde og over mange år, langsomt, opfinde den tryllestøv der skulle drysses på mit barns vinger, for at få hende til at lette, men det lykkedes. Det blev langsomt men kontinuerligt vendt fra det umådeligt hårde, sorgfyldte og svære til det meget enklere og lettere. Nu vil hun flyve hvis ikke hun bliver holdt nede. Min bog er tiltænkt familier, pårørende og dig der har givet dig selv lov til at græde, lide, skælde ud, sørge og stadig synes det hele er umådeligt svært, for det er det… Til dig som tror på at mod, håb, holdningsændringer og organiseret træning kan være med til at skabe det afgørende vacuum der skal til for at det er muligt og tør tro på, at en stor del af de tanker vores mindset er opbygget omkring er skabende. Derfor er forløbet om min lille unikke pige med knækket vinge på trods af de sværeste udsigter, blevet en succesfuld katastrofe. Jeg kan, og vil, ikke give dig urealistiske løfter, men jeg vil love at udvikling sker, overskud opstår, forståelse fra systemet, fagpersoner og de nære relationer rykker nærmere og første kapitel med større anerkendelse, mestring og glæde er påbegyndt for dit barn, dig og familien, når du bevidst anvender modellen HOPE ™ – Hold On Pain EndsAf største forståelse - Mor til Victoria HopeGitte Bjerregaard Mathiesen
