If Tables Could Talk
1
(Author) Andrea Post SutcliffeWhat if wood could talk? When a wise king and virtuous queen desire a table and chair for their castle, they invite their local craftsmen to fulfill their wish. The local lumberjack, mule, mill, and carpenter work together to craft a matching wood Table and Chair. Little do they know that the wood-all wood-can talk, and the Table and Chair share a special bond of friendship. Life in the castle is complete with laughter, dancing, weddings, and friendship. The Table and Chair belong in the castle and with each other, and their days are filled with purpose. But life has a way of surprising, and the Table and Chair find themselves sailing across the ocean to the colonies in the New World. Their royal beginnings begin to fade when their travels push westward, pioneering to the frontier. Decades pass and scratches and scars mark their wood, but their friendship is stronger than ever¿until the inconceivable happens when they reach the great Mississippi River! Finding himself alone and questioning his self-worth, the Table confides in a new friend. His storytelling is exceptional, but the tales of mystery and intrigue pale in comparison to the secret only he seems to know. Could your table know something you've never suspected?
