The Magical Restaurant - Karen Olson - Bog

A young mother running from an abusive husband; a disabled man in love with a veterinarian; an attorney coping with the murder of her husband in a new town; a gay man dealing with commitment issues with his hospitalized partner: these are the people who meet at The Magical Restaurant. Set among the pines in Pacific Grove, a small California coastal town, the restaurant is owned by Oliver James, a spiritual man with the psychic ability to see people's problems. He commits to helping them by bringing them together in the restaurant to form a community to help each other. But no one knows Oliver's real name of his criminal past, and that he is hiding from his revengeful criminal gang. Until one night the leader of the gang finds him and threatens them all.
