This is a story about building community and friendship. Written as if it were a children's story, this book tells how one girl (and the boy she loved) made space in their lives to open their home each week to eat with others and in doing so built something no one expected. The story is illustrated beautifully by the actual people who came to supper on Mondays and ate at her table. FROM THE REAR COVER: What do you do when your heart's full of love but your table has empty spaces? The girl in this story faced just that and had a grand idea that reached across her city. We never learn the girl's name, we never learn the name of the city, but perhaps it doesn't matter. This is a true story. And, perhaps, it could also be your story.

Autorenporträt
I am a mum of five children whose ages currently range elementary school to university. I currently live in Switzerland, near the borders of France and Germany; this is our third time living in this region. From 2014-2019 we lived in Shanghai, China. Although my family and I are all British the children have virtually no memories of living in the UK, and in fact the youngest has never actually lived there. I am generally busy and rush about with a head full of ideas for projects and things that I mostly never accomplish because I am a terrible procrastinator. Actually, I am an amazing procrastinator as I've been refining the skill for most of the last 15 years. I like to read and I read a lot. I like spending time with my friends. I like laughing. I cry easily, and it's often not because I'm sad. I like walking. I like science fiction, not so much for the technology (although I love technology and previously worked in the IT industry) but for the framework it gives us to consider world order and explore human character and behaviour when faced with unfamiliar or strange situations. I like the sea. I like sitting outside in a busy spot to watch all the people around me. I like being at home with the people I love.
