Synopsis

In this reader-favorite tale, #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs writes with heartwarming delicacy about life’s unexpected turns, and how family and love can help you find your way home. Lily Robinson and Sean McGuire have nothing in common. She guards her independent lifestyle with a ferocity that hides a fear of love and the pain it can bring. He’s always been a rolling stone, making his own way. But with the sudden deaths of a couple close to them both, the two become joined in grief and a knowledge that they must step up and care for the three orphaned children. With little more than hope and dedication, these five embark on a cross-country road trip filled with the ups and downs, the joys and frustrations that make up a family. Along the way, Lily and Sean and these troubled children will discover that even when you’ve lost everything, love still remains.

About Susan Wiggs

When Susan Wiggs’s recent novel, Fireside, landed at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, the author responded by jumping fully clothed into her swimming pool. In February. In the Pacific Northwest. After thawing herself out, the author put on her lipstick and vacuumed the living room. Why? Because on the tiny island where she lives, news travels fast. She knew her girlfriends would show up momentarily - which they did - with the customary champagne and bags of Cheetos. She toasted her loyal readers, whose unflagging interest in her books propelled her sales upward. She toasted her friends and family as well, since they have always been the source of her inspiration. From the very start, her writings have illuminated the everyday dramas of ordinary people. At the age of eight, she self-published her first novel, entitled A Book About Some Bad Kids. Today, she is an international best-selling author, with millions of copies of her books in print in numerous countries. Her Lakeshore Chronicles novels celebrate the power of love, the timeless bonds of family and the nuances of human nature that make headlines every day. She lives on an island in the Pacific Northwest and is perpetually working on her next novel.

My first and favorite Susan Wiggs read- it's a gorgeous, sweet story of children orphaned after a tragic accident and the couple who are entrusted with their care...and what ensues when life goes on, as it does, and these two people who are so opposite in so many ways are thrown together and forced......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on July 02, 2012

This book was a little diamond in the rough. If you've ever seen the movie Life As We Know It (I know, a movie compared to a book...), Table For Five was a much better version of it. It deals with grief and love in it's most basic and real form. Divorced parents will their orphaned children to two d......more

Goodreads review by Jane on February 18, 2013

Ok if you’re in the mood for women’s fiction about grief and responsibility. I prefer more entertainment. The publisher’s blurb (on the back of the book) emphasized a cross country road trip with ups and downs, joys and frustrations. I was disappointed that the road trip was a very minor part of the......more
