~ R. G. Ryan (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Snapshots at St. Arbuck’s deftly captures quiet, personal human moments in one of the least likely of places—a bustling coffee shop. R.G. Ryan’s observations and vignettes remind us that there are stories unfolding in front of us constantly and that perhaps all we need to do is sit still for a minute to hear and see them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like a cup of coffee with a good friend!, May 31, 2009

By	D. Saunders "coffee shop girl" (Palm Beach Gardens, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I adored this book from the opening lines. RG Ryan writes like you were sitting across the Starbucks table from him, discussing the people who wander by as you sip your latte. His slice-of-life vignettes always have a point buried somewhere in them. They entertain and they give you hope. He's restored my faith in the value of community, family and the Third Place in the community. I can't wait for volume 2!

By	S. Wagner (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Each story in this book is like a delicious morsel to be savored. The detailed stories RG writes make me feel like I am sitting right next to him at my local coffee shop.
I don't know when a book has made me laugh or cry so much.
RG Ryan definitely has a gift and he has generously shared a little glimpse into his life with us.
This book is for lovers and dreamers alike.
I HIGHLY recommend it.
