Mike’s Magic Burgers

A midcareer upset turns Earl’s life upside down. Seeking a willing ear, he develops a friendship with an eighty-three-year-old palm reader who works at Mike’s Magic Burgers-a restaurant where the food and some of the people are magic. She uses her palm reader’s wisdom to give him simple guidance that could lead him to happiness. While other patrons of Mike’s Magic Burgers embrace change, Earl resists it with all his might. Will he accept a new vision of life or cling to the notions that are making him unhappy? Mike’s Magic Burgers speaks to anyone who has had to search for their place in the world. The story unfolds in a series of vignettes that explore the ordinariness of magic and how we choose to live our lives. This is an enchanting, one-of-a-kind book.
