Brenda Bevan Remmes is an American author of Southern fiction, known for her Quaker Cafe series set in the fictional town of Cedar Branch, North Carolina. Her writing draws on the rhythms of small-town Southern life, where everyone knows everyone and community bonds run deep. The series began with The Quaker Cafe in 2015 and continued with Home to Cedar Branch in 2016 and Mama Sadie in 2018.
Remmes brings a warm but honest eye to her characters. The women of Cedar Branch face real problems: family secrets, moral dilemmas, and the kind of local politics that can tear a small community apart. The Quaker setting gives the books a distinctive texture, grounding the stories in a tradition of simplicity, conscience, and quiet resistance. Readers who enjoy Southern women’s fiction with a strong sense of place will find a lot to like here.
