The Quaker Cafe series by Brenda Bevan Remmes takes place in Cedar Branch, a fictional small town in North Carolina built around a Quaker meeting house and its neighboring cafe. The first book, The Quaker Cafe, introduces the community and the tensions that arise when long-buried secrets start to surface. The townspeople must decide what matters more: protecting their reputations or doing the right thing.

Home to Cedar Branch and Mama Sadie continue the story, following different members of the community as they face new challenges. The books are best read in order, since characters and relationships develop across all three novels. Remmes captures the feel of a place where everybody’s business is everybody else’s business, for better and worse. The Quaker values of the community provide a moral backdrop without ever turning preachy, and the result is a warm, grounded series about ordinary people trying to live well.
