How Starbucks Saved My Life

At age sixty, Michael Gates Gill had it all, a mansion in the suburbs, a loving family, a six-figure salary and a top job at an ad agency. Then, he lost it all. He was downsized at work, an affair ended his twenty-year marriage. He was diagnosed with a slow-growing brain tumour. Gill had no money, no health insurance and no prospects. Then he met Crystal, a Starbucks manager from the other side of town and began a dramatic transformation from a person with ingrained prejudices and class superiority to a humbler, happier person whose world had been cracked wide open.
