From tree to lumber to furniture...from castle to colony to countryside...built together but torn apart; will the friends ever see each other again? In this heartwarming historical fiction tale with a fantastical twist, a Table and Chair share a bond of friendship as they travel from a castle in Europe to the New World frontier, experiencing adventure and heartache along the way while cherishing a secret no one else seems to know. What if wood could talk? The tale begins with a wise king and a virtuous queen who request a table and matching chair for their castle's entry hall, unsuspecting of wood's ability to talk. The local craftsmen work together, and the resulting Table and Chair share a bond that few friends can equal. Their life in the castle is complete with frolicking children, beautiful wedding celebrations, and the sense of belonging and usefulness that is vital to every soul. Unexpected travels whisper promises of adventure, taking them across the ocean to the New World. Life in the colonies is much harder than life in the castle, and their royal beginnings fade as they find themselves headed westward. 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?
Andrea Post Sutcliffe grew up in Peculiar, MO, just south of Kansas City. She lived an idyllic childhood on five wooded acres complete with water from a cistern, no television (before cell phones and ipads), no air conditioning, and gravel roads for miles. Her sister was her playmate, and reading and writing were her pastimes.She graduated from Calvary Bible College in 1993 with a major in elementary education and a minor in theology. Having met her husband while student teaching, Don and Andrea were married 2 months after graduation, moved back to Peculiar MO, and shortly adopted 6 children.As if life wasn't enough of an adventure, they decided to homeschool as well. Mission work, youth ministry, and hosting small group were other natural paths to joining God where He is at work. "Miss Andrea" has been the Children's Minister at Heart of Life in Harrisonville MO for the last 8 years. She gains insight, story lines, and great one-liners from her passion: sharing Jesus Christ with children. For more information check out uspeculiarpeople.com.
