“A feast of small-town charm and characters who feel like dear friends.” —Liz Johnson, bestselling author of The Red Door Inn

From USA TODAY bestselling author Kathryn Springer comes a tale of starting over when life takes an unexpected turn.

Winsome Lake, Wisconsin, is postcard-pretty, but for chef Jessica Keaton it’s also a last resort. Fired from her dream job, Jess is starting over as a live-in cook and housekeeper. When she arrives, she finds her new employer is in rehab after having a stroke, and Jess expects she’ll be all alone in Elaine Haviland’s quaint house. A chef with no one to cook for.

But instead, she encounters a constant stream of colorful visitors who draw her back into the world. As Jess contends with local teenagers, a group of scrappy women and a charming football coach, Elaine faces some battles of her own that extend past her physical challenges. For both of them, all the ingredients for a fulfilling life are within reach, if they’re willing to take a leap. And maybe Jess will start to see that it’s not just what’s on the table that matters—it’s the people gathered round it.

A must-read novel from Love Inspired: Stories to Uplift and Inspire.

Kathryn Springer grew up in a small town where her parents published a weekly newspaper. As a child, she spent hours sitting at her mother's typewriter, plunking out stories, and credits her parents for instilling in her a love of reading - which turned into a desire to tell stories of her own.

Kathryn has written over thirty books and lives and writes on a lake in northern Wisconsin. She enjoys long walks in the woods and the change of seasons (although sometimes she wishes the "change" between winter and spring didn't last quite so long!) When Kathryn isn't at the computer, she's spending time with family and friends, paging through cooking magazines or sitting in the sun. A really, really good day includes all three!

When I saw this pop up on upcoming books, I immediately pre-ordered it. I've always loved Ms. Springer's books. I don't know if I missed some or if she took a sabbatical, but I was so happy to read this. Absolutely loved it. All the characters. I have zero interest in cooking, but this was the best book about a chef as the main character that I've ever read.

Kathryn Springer's "The Gathering Table" is a beautiful tale of a lonely young woman hiding a broken life at a stranger's table. A story within a story, it opens piece by piece like ingredients in a fine recipe. Desperation has driven Jessica Keaton to a temporary refuge in Winsome Lake, Wisconsin. The last things she expects to find are a home, her destiny and the true Bread of Life.

This book was a lot like the food it revolves around - sweet, tart with a surprise in every bite. A totally delicious read about wonderful people with real issues. I’m just sad that I’ve finished a delicious meal of a story!

Delightful, Charming Story

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2021

This delightful, charming story is the first I’ve read of Kathryn Springer – and definitely won’t be the last. Her characters are well developed, strong individuals who have good values and care about others. They are just the kind of people I’d want for friends. Reading this book felt like when you’ve been gone a long time and the comfort of finally being home.

After being fired unfairly from what she felt was her “dream job” as a personal chef, Jess finds herself in the small town of Winsome Lake, Wisconsin, where she accepted a job to be the cook, housekeeper and caregiver for Elaine, who has been in rehab recovering from a stroke. It’s a far cry from the career path she’d been on, however, she had nowhere else to go. Upon arriving at Elaine’s house, she is met by friends of Elaine who advise Elaine took a fall and is now out of rehab but is in the hospital.

Upon settling into the guest room, Jess soon learns that small-town living is nothing at all like the big cities she is used to. Elaine’s friends and neighbors are frequent visitors; she wakes early in the morning to find a local teenager practicing the piano downstairs and Nick who lives down the street returns Elaine’s cat, he’d been caring for in her absence, and he’s also taking care of her yard, although the backyard is a mixture of flowers and herbs that have taken over the yard and despite neglect, seemed to be flourishing. Jess would have been long gone, had she somewhere else to go. What an unexpected development when she finds her heart softening towards the town and the people in it. It is scary that this place and these people growing in her heart, could possibly begin to feel like home.

As this intriguing story unfolds and Elaine eventually returns home there are long held secrets revealed that will change the course of several lives. This is a beautifully written story of faith and hope that life will turn out as it should, despite many bumps along the way.

Welcome to Winsome Lake, Wisconsin, a place where everyone knows one another, and all are family.
Twenty five years ago Elaine Haviland bought her home, and moved in, a new comer, and she still considers herself as a newbie, and she repeats history by hiring Jessica without ever meeting her. Mistakes? No, you are about to enter a very heartwarming read, where strangers become family.
We are with Jes as she arrives to the empty home, well, maybe not empty as there is a constant stream of strangers, at least to her. Elaine is in rehab. Can you imagine thinking your alone, and being awakened by someone playing the piano?
Come and see how this family developes, and we come to see the parallel of lives through the generations. A sweet story that you won't want to end!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Harlequin, and was not required to give a positive review.
