Book Description
A car accident unites two strangers to raise three orphaned children in this romantic, tragicomic classic by a #1 New York Times–bestselling author. Lily Robinson and Sean McGuire have nothing in common. She guards her independent lifestyle with a ferocity that hides a fear of love and the pain it can bring. He’s always been a rolling stone, making his own way. But with the sudden deaths of a couple close to them both, the two become joined in grief and a knowledge that they must step up and care for the three orphaned children. With little more than hope and dedication, these five embark on a cross-country road trip filled with the ups and downs, the joys and frustrations that make up a family. Along the way, Lily and Sean and these troubled children will discover that even when you’ve lost everything, love still remains. Originally published in 2005. Praise for Table for Five “Wiggs explores many aspects of grief, from guilt to anger to regret, imbuing her book with the classic would’ve/could’ve/should’ve emotions, and presenting realistic and sympathetic characters. Never maudlin, Wiggs writes with an even hand, thus adding another excellent title to her already-outstanding body of work.” —Booklist

Book Description
Aggie Lantana has a plan. It is to shake the ill-fated roots of her Midwest life and replant herself to thrive in a large city. More than a geographic solution, she reinvents herself simply as Lantana. As sometimes happens, good intentions go awry. Suddenly she finds herself a suspect in a double-death case that has occurred at Table Five, the focal point of a prestigious restaurant. This is not part of her long-term strategy. Murder or suicide is a mystery yet to be determined. The FBI, IRS, and a persistent police detective are relentless in their investigation. But the case becomes secondary as Lantana faces even greater danger from a money-hungry cast of kinky characters and ruthless murderers lurking around each corner. Bizarre events continue as Lantana discovers shes involved in an international diamond smuggling ringand that people closest to her may be involved in this nefarious circle. As the murder/suicide case unfolds, Lantana is further implicated in more serious crimes. Her heartland wisdom quickly becomes street-smart savvy as gently curving country roads turn into abrupt twists and turns in the back alleys of upstate New York, ultimately forcing her to travel internationally to unravel this plot. Wary of her situation, Lantana begins to think it might have been wiser to have remained Aggie, a farm girl from Nebraska. It certainly would have been safer.
