A CUP OF COFFEE is a novel written by the Further Left Chat Room´s animus mundi. It is the story of a couple who expatriate to rural Mexico from the United States in the late 1980's. The story is autobiographically drawn from the author's experiences and was written as it happened. The book's jacket states:

This story is about a women and her husband who want to find permanency in the country that they have chosen to live

It is Mexico in the late eighties. The story tells of the life and adventures of Sky and America Summersun along with their family of dogs and friends, in a small village on the Pacific Coast.

"A real tumble-down house that sways with winds and rocks with the pounding of the surf. No two measurements the same and everything on it has a story behind it. Each small addition a major accomplishment in itself."

"The dolphins are here often but it is always a thing to marvel at and the tunas adding their bright flash as they break free of the water for a moment is a gift to the senses from nature."

Full of descriptions of the area and the people the author paints a vivid picture of her life and surroundings. The Spanish and English languages mix comfortably with each other in this tale. Simple and honest.
