Description: This is the heartfelt true story of a wife and mother's yearlong experience inviting one new guest (from senators to school teachers, artists to professional athletes) to dinner each week that her husband was deployed overseas. But the story isn't really about dinner. Or the military. It's a love story about marriage, motherhood, and the community that helped her raise three boys (one on the cusp of adolescence) in the absence of their father.--
