Welcome to The Kookaburra Creek Cafe.

The past: For Hattie, the cafe has been her refuge for the last 50 years - her second chance at a happy ending after her dreams of being a star were shattered. But will the ghosts of her past succeed in destroying everything she’s worked so hard to build?

The present: For Alice, the cafe is her livelihood. After Hattie took her in as a teenager, Alice has slowly forged a quiet life as the cafe’s manager (and chief cupcake baker). But with so many tragedies behind her, is it too late for Alice’s story to have a happy ending?

The future: For Becca, a teenager in trouble, the cafe could be the new start she yearns for. That is if she can be persuaded to stop running from her secrets. Can Becca find a way to believe in the kindness of strangers and accept that this small town could be the place where she finally belongs?

One small town. Three lost women. And a lifetime of secrets.

Have only recently discovered this author. Heard her speak last night at CharlestownLibrary, a Lake Macquarie Libraries initiative. Sandie was so natural and honest. Loved this book and the characters in it. So happy threads were followed through and solutions found when needed.
Looking forward to reading the second novel by Sandie Docker now, ‘The Cottage at Rosella Cove’.

A delightful book

This was one of my favourite books of 2018. I loved the quirky characters and quaint setting of the Kookaburra Creek cafe. Every character had their own story to tell and their lives intertwined seamlessly. Found it hard to put down as I was so invested in the characters and needed to know what happened in the end. A fabulous read.

I selected this book randomly, but so glad I did. I loved the story, the characters and the setting. Such a heartwarming lovely read. This book would make a beautiful movie! I visualised the cooking through the story and what a delightful ending to find the recipes all there! Now I can't wait to produce my first batch of Kookaburra Creek Cafe cupcakes, but which flavour shall I choose?

Step inside the world of the Kookaburra Creek Cafe

Reviewed in the United States on 13 February 2019

From the incredibly tense opening pages of the prologue, all the way through to the closing chapters, I was captivated by the story of Alice Pond and the characters connected to the Kookaburra Creek Cafe.

The eyes of a thief haunt, friendships endure, and along the way, a story unfolds that is equal parts bittersweet and oh so memorable. There are twists, turns, surprises, and accidents as the fate of the characters are called into question. Alice is resourceful in the face of adversity, a character you cheer on till the very end. She's wonderful with Becca and Joey and great in the kitchen, making me hunger for cupcakes and sweets as I read. In chapters that alternate between the past and the present, trouble surfaces in storylines about Dean McRae and Buckley Hargraves. The beloved cafe is threatened. Characters are injured and try to rebuild, their lives forever changed. I loved the subplot about Hattie and Genieve. Besides Alice, I think Hattie was my favorite character. One of my favorite lines of the novel comes from Hattie: "Everyone's tomorrow could begin."

This is a world I definitely want to return to. I can't wait for the next book by Sandie Docker!

An amazing story one not to be missed

Well I have wanted to read this book since its release and finally I have gotten to it and WOW, everything I have read about it is so right this is an awesome story from start to finish a fabulous debut and I can only see this author flying high in the future and I will be eagerly looking for more new books, because meeting Hattie, Alice and Becca was like being with family and friends I felt so close to them all, I cried, I smiled and I cheered them all on, this is one book that I highly recommend so very moving and emotional.

Hattie, what can I say strong, loving determined to do what she can firstly for her sister and then a young Alice when she lands on the doorstep of The Café alone, scared and uncertain but Hattie takes her under her wing and together they move forward with Alice learning so much and soon with a baby to care for and love, working out what she should and should not do, times can be hard but love shines through with them and the fabulous characters of the town who are always there to help as well. Tragedy brings a lot of pain to not only Hattie and Alice but the whole town, there will be tears and lots of them but out of that pain strength does come back, and when Becca arrives in similar circumstances to Alice’s arrival in the town Alice has the chance to help a young teenager in trouble and together the three woman move forward, not without more pain, but with pain comes love as well.

This book is going to stay with me for a long time to come and I do hope that I have done it justice, I won’t say too much more about the story because I don’t want to give too much away but I loved it, I loved not only Hattie, Alice and Becca but Joey and all of the people of the town, what these three woman went through was tough and they all still found their strength and could still love and care what they drew from each other was beautiful. Thank you MS Docker for an amazing story way to go, this is one that should not be missed

This was a beautiful little book. I really felt like I was seeing it through Alice's eyes. The town of Kookaburra Creek is really like a character in itself.
So many ups and downs, but always with a cheerful optimism and uplifting resilience.
