I enjoyed this story of two very different people thrust together by the uncertainty of life. I thought this was a powerful story of loss and grief, but also of two people finding that life is easier when they look to others. Totally impressed with Susan Wiggs - now one of my favorite authors.

a good read. held my attention. parents die and leave 3 children to a golfing uncle. school teacher/best friend of the mother also loves them. will romance of Lily and Sean Maguire take hold and rescue these 3 kids from grief? (

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0778322866, Mass Market Paperback)

In a story only Susan Wiggs could tell, Table for Five resonates with the sweetness and surprise of the unexpected paths life can take -- and explores what it really means to be a family.

When Derek and Crystal Maguire are killed in a car accident, their three children are left to be raised by their designated guardians -- Lily Robinson and Sean McGuire. Brought together by tragedy, the two strangers are joined in grief and their mutual love for these orphaned children. Sean and Lily are about to embark on the journey of ups and downs, patience and understanding that makes a family. And along the way they will find a future filled with hope, happiness and the certainty that love is the best choice of all.
