Vinnie's diner

the long version

"What if you were given one night to review your entire life? Would you like what you see? When a freak accident leaves Allie stranded in the middle of the desert, she's thankful to still be alive. Or is she? She's rescued from the wreck by Vinnie, owner of a roadside establishment filled with people who shouldn't be there. Or is it Allie who doesn't belong? Standing at the window, she recalls important events from her past and watches as EMTs pull her own body from her mangled vehicle. Suddenly, it becomes clear this is no ordinary pit stop. In Vinnie's Diner, Allie embarks on a harrowing journey of self-discovery, literally facing her demons and making the ultimate decision- between life and death."--Abingdonpress.com.
