When Sarah's husband has to be deployed, she does not want to see the empty chair at the table where he used to sit, so she decides to invite people of various backgrounds to have dinner with her and her three boys. I enjoyed the whole book, it's very good!
Sarah, your writing is so good, you told it great and the pictures are really good too! Dustin, I thank you for your service! As for the boys, you were great too! Keep following the Red Sox and listen to your parents. Love your dog!!

Dinner with the Smileys by Sarah Smiley is about how a military wife and her three young boys made it through the year her husband was deployed. Sarah came up with an idea to invite different dinner guests every week to fill the empty chair where her husband used to sit at the dinner table. It gave them all something to look forward to every week and provided a diversion in a way. I enjoyed reading about the special “Dinners with the Smileys” but also the family dynamics, her single parenting struggles, the baseball games, the boys’ interactions with one another and with the guests. This is a heartwarming family documentary that is a very enjoyable read! It gives the reader a peek into unique pressures that military families (or single parents) face.
