About this ebook:
When their dad left for a yearlong military deployment, a community stepped in to fill his seat at the dinner table...one week at a time.On its surface, Dinner with the Smileys is an uplifting true story about a wife and mother's yearlong experience inviting one new guest (from senators to school teachers, artists to professional athletes) to dinner for each week that her husband was deployed overseas. But Dinner with the Smileys isn't really about dinner. And it's not about the military either. It's about 250 strangers who came together to help raise three boys (one of the cusp of adolescence) in the absence of their father. It's a love story about marriage, motherhood, and the importance of community in all of our lives. Inside this personal story are the universal issues of loss, grief, loneliness, regrets, sacrifice, and, ultimately, unexpected joy and finding one's own strength.
