His wife left him for his best friend. His boss thinks kindness is a character flaw. But David's not done dreaming yet.

At forty-three, David Willoughby's life is a mess. He's stuck in a soulless job, navigating his daughter's simmering anger, his boss's biting sarcasm, and his ex-wife's meddling, while living in a house that feels more like a museum of mistakes than a home. Then, at a school reunion he nearly skipped, he sees Bridget -- and remembers what it's like to dream.

Armed with a list titled How to Change My Life, the top point being opening an arts café and winning the heart of the gorgeous Bridget, David sets out to realise his dreams. But to rebuild his world, David must first figure out who he is without the life he thought he'd always have.

Dream Café is the first book in the At the Dream Café series -- perfect for readers who love witty, character-driven fiction about second chances, messy families, and finding love (and laughter) the second time around.
