Download or read book Confessions of a Barista on Platform 1 written by Joanna Murray and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confessions of a Barista on Platform 1 Set in a tiny coffee shop on the London-bound platform of St Leonards Warrior Square station and told by the female owner, Confessions of a Barista on Platform 1 is a current portrayal of an eccentric community, a how-to business book, and an uplifting story of healing. It's about how the narrator (Jo Murray) unwittingly became a therapist to her customers - and how in turn - they changed her life for the better. Coffee, trains and travellers prove to be a powerful combination. The narrator, the customers, the vignettes are all real people and their stories are true, some funny, some incredulous, some simply heart-breaking. The coffee shop is still very much 'business as usual' - new customers have become regulars - old regulars have remained loyal - the door opens promptly at 6am - as do the conversations. The narrator writes as she is: practical, straight talking, compassionate, and with a dry sense of humour. A middle-aged single mother of three, she was broke and broken-hearted when she threw her all into starting up her coffee shop. With no entrepreneurial experience, within a year she'd made it a great success. Part of the reason was her coffee and work ethic - but the other part was the amazing trust and human interactions that happened across the counter in the time it takes to pull a flat white before the Charing Cross train. And also, the extraordinary true stories that people shared with her. We all know how we become anonymous strangers when we travel - and this funny compassionate book reveals just how much we all share, how we all have our private struggles and joys - and how the most unlikely looking person might actually be a hero.

Book excerpt: Confessions explores a woman’s pursuit of the truth about her broken and dysfunctional family. Very early in her childhood, Debbie had discovered that her life was being controlled by some old and very dark secrets. Then one day her father calls and summons her to come back to Missouri to discuss “some family business.” She arrives to find he is in a hospice, dying, and he wants to make a deathbed confession. Upon hearing her father’s story, Debbie believes her father’s actions were justifiable. Then she learns he confessed it once before—to her mother forty years ago. What was in that confession that destroyed her mother? Every time her father visited Debbie, her mother would go into hysterics, sometimes for weeks. Her mother and father had kept secret the story of their romance and his confession from Debbie for decades. Now she had her father’s story. Would her mother be able to tell her side of the story? Confessions as a novel addresses the relationship between a sin, a confession, and forgiveness. Which is worse, the original sin if kept a secret or the confession of the sin to the recipient? We are taught to confess, to seek forgiveness from the person we have sinned against. But is that always the right choice? What if the confession does not generate the forgiveness we desire? What if the confession destroys that person, ruins their life and the lives of others? What if the confession was given for that purpose, not seeking forgiveness but seeking revenge? Confessions have consequences that can’t always be controlled.
