The Seasons

Imani doesn't know exactly what she wants to be. Just what everyone expects her to be. No matter how well she does in school, she always finds herself dumbstruck when it comes to her future. When she gets pressured to apply for a job, she decides to try the small-town diner. After all, she'll be bored out of her mind most of the time--the only people who go to diners anymore are teenage runaways, truckers, and people too lonely to function. Instead of the boring world she imagines, however, she finds herself caught up with a colorful staff, story filled customers, an irritable poet, late night shifts, and a health inspector with a thirst for revenge. And in the chaos of cooked food and scribbled orders, she might even find an idea of who she is. This is the story of the Seasons Diner, where the waiters are fast, the music is slow, and the pie is delicious.
