The story explores the raw emotions that form the intricate tapestry of family structure by pulling at the threads of truth, lies, and misunderstandings. The book has been adapted into a feature film with Michael Douglas and his son, Cameron, now streaming on Amazon and other platforms.

The Delphi Café
"The Delphi Café is one of those rare books that makes you pause and take stock of your own life. It’s thoughtful, hopeful, and filled with the kind of wisdom that sneaks up on you through memorable characters and simple moments. Long after I finished reading, I was still thinking about its message: happiness isn’t something we’re constantly chasing, it’s something we learn to recognize. That’s a story worth telling."
