Deftly weaving romance, action, and humor with a quest for integrity in an unjust world, Love, Coffee, and Revolution is a timely and relatable coming-of-age novel. Idealistic and naïve college senior Dee Blum is suffocating. Trapped in the soul-killing plan laid out by her parents-go to law school and become a divorce lawyer-she is desperate for an escape. She's also desperate for a more meaningful life. So when she unexpectedly lands a job organizing eco-tours of coffee farms in Costa Rica, she drops out of school, setting off on a journey of activism and adventure. In Costa Rica she finds freedom-maybe a little too much of it-and discovers she's woefully unprepared to navigate another culture and the real world in general. Dee quickly meets not one but two attractive men. Adrián is sexy, fun but politically wrong for progressive Dee. Matías is a globe-trotting revolutionary organizer who sets her mind and heart ablaze. As Dee pursues her work, she soon discovers that a powerful fair-trade organic coffee network is actually exploiting the environment and the very people it claims to help. Risking her safety to uncover the depth of their wrong-doings, Dee confronts the real-world implications of her progressive ideals. If she doesn't act, what will happen to the farmers whose livelihoods-and lives-are at risk? Will Dee find the courage to chart her own course? The wisdom to understand her own heart? And has she finally found a cause worth fighting for?
