Coffee, Mornings & You Lena Bitare

Coffee, Mornings & You is a book of poetry and prose by a Filipino author, Lena Bitare.
Someone, who has been left, writes about her love interest upon his return to her life. With her writings about awakening (coffee), realizations (mornings) and the apple of her eye (you), Coffee, Mornings and You came to life.
