One More Chair at the Table

Sometimes, the hardest part of finding love is making room for it.

Emma Whitmore has built a successful career planning beautiful weddings in Chicago. But after a painful divorce, love is the one thing she no longer believes she can plan for herself.

Then an unexpected call brings her back to her childhood home in Willow Bay, Michigan.

Her widowed father is getting married again.

For Emma, the news stirs memories she thought she had buried. As she struggles to accept her father's decision, old disagreements with her younger sister resurface, and the growing distance between Emma and her teenage daughter becomes impossible to ignore.

And then she meets Noah Bennett.

A quiet bookstore owner and devoted single father, Noah understands what it means to rebuild a life after disappointment. Their friendship begins with ordinary conversations and slowly becomes something neither expected.

But second chances are never as simple as falling in love.

With her career pulling her toward Chicago, her family needing her in Michigan, and old wounds threatening new happiness, Emma must discover what truly matters-and whether there is room in her life for another love story.

One More Chair at the Table is a warm, deeply emotional contemporary novel about family, forgiveness, motherhood, sisterhood, and finding love when life offers an unexpected second chance.

Because sometimes, the family we need is the one we learn to make room for.
