Recovery Cafe is an oasis, a refuge, a place where those ignored by the larger culture are honored. Descent into Love tells founder Killian Noe's personal story of how Recovery Cafe came into existence, beginning with her decision to leave Washington, DC, where she had founded Samaritan Inns, to start afresh in Seattle, WA. Also included are the stories of the men and women who have come through Recovery Cafe in search of healing, community, and a new life away from drugs, alcohol, and homelessness.
