Part memoir, part coming of age, and part reflection on changes in networking norms over forty-plus years of adulthood, this warm and engaging narrative by first-time author Wendy Bornstein shares the history of her love affair with coffee.

Much more than just a beverage, coffee is the common thread that runs through Wendy’s personal development from about age nine through decades of change, including work, marriage, children, and the pandemic that resulted in the most consequential challenges of most baby boomers’ lifetimes.

Although she starts each day with a hot cup of coffee for energy, more often than not, her subsequent cups are a treat and an opportunity for reflection. Wendy details her early introduction to coffee and shares how she has learned to enjoy the process of finding coffee connections throughout her journey.
