About The Book

In his fifties, Michael Gates Gill seemed to have it all—a mansion, a loving family, a six-figure salary, and an Ivy League education. But within a few short years, his life took a dramatic turn. He lost his high-paying job, went through a divorce, and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Without money or health insurance, he found himself working at Starbucks—far from his once privileged life.

How Starbucks Saved My Life is Michael's candid and inspiring autobiography that chronicles his journey from a life of luxury to scrubbing toilets and serving coffee. In this humbling experience, Michael encounters an unexpected mentor, a young African American woman with a challenging past, who opens his eyes to the true meaning of living well.

Their unlikely friendship teaches him valuable lessons in hard work, humility, and respect. For the first time, he understands what it means to be part of a minority group and struggles to survive in a new environment. Through this journey, Michael learns the importance of perseverance, self-worth, and happiness, finding joy and meaning he had never known before.

This autobiography is a powerful reminder that life’s most difficult moments can lead to personal growth, healing, and unexpected friendships. A compelling read about resilience, self-discovery, and the transformative power of humility.
