Maggie is a discouraged lawyer, Dillon, a heartbroken vagabond, and Phillip, a frustrated writer. Their stories are told by the mysterious Jillian, part purveyor of spirits and part spiritual guru. Inside the walls of Cafe Rembrandt, where whipping fresh cream is an act of poetry and pouring a drink an act of faith, we fall under Jillian's spell. With a voice that is lyrical and immediate, she artfully trails her Ariadne thread to lead her devotees back into the light. Waking Up at Rembrandt's is a fresh take on the tale of awakenings. It celebrates the sensual as well as the spiritual, skillfully bridging the two worlds.
