After his marriage falls apart three years in, a small-town mechanic moves into a rented apartment above the only coffee shop in town and finds his life slowly rebuilt one cup at a time. Between Pooky's sharp tongue and sharper coffee, a guarded paralegal named Lindsey who isn't afraid to call him "little man," and a found family that grows to include two sons, a surrogate grandmother, and a town full of regulars who become something closer to kin, he learns that the worst chapter of a man's life can also be the first page of his best one.

Warm, funny, and unapologetically sentimental, The Little Man is a story about second chances, the kind that show up disguised as a donut, a cup of black coffee, and a woman who isn't impressed by you yet.
