Summary

Desperate for a way to slow down and connect, Kristin Schell put an ordinary picnic table in her front yard, painted it turquoise, and began inviting friends and neighbors to join her. Life changed in her community, and it can change in yours too. Along with personal stories, Kristin shares ideas for starting your own Turquoise Table, simple recipes to take outside and share, and stories from people using Turquoise Tables in their own neighborhoods.
