The Diner — Dean Michael Zadak

How far would you go to stay with your true love forever? One man's answer to that question threatens to destroy a town and all souls in it, unless Dan Scheffelin can find a way to stop him. Still reeling from the devastating losses of his wife and parents, Dan returns to his hometown and to the diner his parents owned, to find that while things look the same on the surface, inside are buried secrets. Strange encounters seem to follow him, notably his exchanges with a waitress who looks eerily like his late wife and who shares memories of that happy life he's lost.

As Dan struggles to uncover the mysteries of his hometown and of the diner, he must confront his past and the love he thought he had, to win the love he desires.
