How far would you go?
Armed with nothing but a fresh graduate degree, her own self-assurance, and $50,000 of borrowed money, Joy Swallow is determined to start the marketing agency of her dreams.
When she’s betrayed by her most trusted mentor and trapped by an egomaniacal executive, Joy must decide what winning is worth and how far she’ll go to secure her seat at the table.
As she’s thrown into the fierce and competitive world of corporate marketing, Joy drowns out every voice but the voice of her dream. For Joy, this isn’t just about business; it’s about proving to herself—and to the world—that she’s capable of more than anyone ever expected.
Praise for A Seat at the Table
Honest reviews from real readers.
What a beautiful story of forgiveness and restoration! The characters were so well-developed and relatable that I felt like I was right there with them. The author did a wonderful job of keeping the reader engaged and wanting more. It made me reflect on my own life quite a bit.

Amazon ReviewThis was a great read! The author developed characters that each reader can relate to in some way. You will finish feeling inspired to check your own heart and intentions.
Noel L.
Barnes & Noble ReviewThis story gave me some big feelings. The protagonist, Joy, is full of spunk and bad decisions. Her contemporary struggles were all too relatable as I experienced her anger, desperation, and some vicarious embarrassment!

I’m Not Like Millie’s Aunt
“Is that what I think it is?” she pointed to my trifle bowl.
I tipped the bowl toward her and said, “Banana pudding.”
“I had some of that at the BBQ at the Hensley’s and I searched and
searched for you to get the recipe.” She linked her arm in mine and
practically dragged me to Chance’s front walkway. “You do share the
recipe, don’t you?”
“Um—”
“Cuz I have an aunt who makes the best salsa—like, the BEST—
and she refuses to share the recipe.”
Lucky for you, I’m not like Millie’s aunt. I share recipes. I hope you like this one. I’m pretty famous for it.
