Beschreibung

Miss Ivys Tea Room has a quilt of characters, each with a story of adversity. They find solace in a hot cup of tea within the warm atmosphere of a tea room operated by the proprietor, Ms. Julia Horne. The beautiful Ms. Horne also has a story; born to Jamaican immigrants, she strives to accomplish the American dream through feminism, assimilation, and love. Her daughter Victoria Horne, a young, corporate executive is living the American Dream with resentment. At the tea room, Julia meets new and fascinating people; the one thing Julia and Victoria never expected to find in the tea room is love. Enter Charles Blackman, a former professional basketball player turned entrepreneur and Mason Green, a famous Broadway and television actor, each embrace the unexpected during turning points in their lives.
