About this book

In a remote cafe located in an isolated area, John—a man traveling by road—stops to refuel but finds something unexpected. Beyond the daily specials, the cafe's menu presents three questions for diners to consider: Why are you here? Do you fear death? Are you fulfilled? With these questions as a starting point and guidance from three people he meets at the cafe, John begins a journey of self-discovery. Through this experience, he develops a new perspective on life and himself, including lessons learned from a green sea turtle.
