Nobody Sits at Table 13

Evie Rowan has twenty-three days to save the Marigold Room, the struggling restaurant her parents opened more than forty years ago.

Then she learns that an anonymous national food critic may be dining there that evening.

Unfortunately, nobody knows which reservation belongs to the critic.

Every customer becomes a suspect: an elderly couple celebrating their divorce, a teenager attempting a fake proposal, a woman dining with the executive who fired her, identical twins secretly switching identities, and a quiet man waiting for his estranged daughter.

That man has been seated at Table 13-a table longtime server Martin Quill insists is cursed.

As Evie tries to identify the critic, dinner service spirals out of control. Meals reach the wrong tables. The fake engagement becomes alarmingly real. Private conversations spread across the dining room. The restaurant's refrigerator fails. And every new disaster seems to confirm Martin's warnings about Table 13.

Before the final course, Evie must decide whether saving the Marigold Room means impressing the most important person in the room-or remembering why every person who enters deserves to matter.

Warm, witty, and unfolding over one increasingly chaotic evening, Nobody Sits at Table 13 is a comedy about food, family, second chances, and making room for the people we nearly overlook.
