The Table

Seven women are called to a mysterious dinner at an ancient refuge where marigolds bloom, memory flows like a river, and what was broken apart is alchemized into wholeness. At the table, stories begin to surface. Not all at once, and not without resistance, but steadily—as if something unseen is guiding them toward what has long been avoided. Each woman carries fragments of a life interrupted by grief, trauma, and the quiet ways we learn to abandon ourselves in order to survive. But this is not merely a gathering. It is an unraveling. A return. A reckoning with the parts of themselves that were never meant to be lost. As the night unfolds, what was once hidden begins to take shape—not as something to be feared, but as something to be understood. And in that understanding, something shifts. Something softens. Something begins to come home. The Table is a trauma-informed story of integration, inviting readers to encounter through narrative what psychology often attempts to explain through theory. It is a place where memory meets the body, truth meets compassion, and what was once fragmented is gathered home and reimagined into wholeness.
