In the next novel in the sensational Before the Coffee Gets Cold Series, the mysterious Tokyo cafe welcomes four new guests: a father who could not allow his daughter to get married, a woman who couldn't give Valentine's Day chocolates to her loved one, a boy who wants to share his smile with his divorced parents, and a wife holding a child with no name. Another moving and heartwarming tale from Toshikazu Kawaguchi, in Before We Forget Kindness, our new visitors wish to go back into their past to find closure and comfort so they can embark on a beautiful future."-- Cover.
