Table For 51 by Shari Leid

About The Book:

What if sitting down for dinner could change the way you see the world? In her inspiring new travel memoir, Table for 51: Lessons Learned from Sharing Meals Across America, Shari Leid takes readers on a cross-country journey where every meal with a stranger becomes a window into the human experience. From bustling cities to small-town diners, Shari’s 50 States Project wasn’t about sightseeing - it was about storytelling. Each of her 50 dinner companions offered unique perspectives shaped by their age, race, politics, religion, and lived experiences. These heartfelt conversations became a treasure trove of wisdom, revealing powerful lessons about resilience, connection, and the universal threads that tie us all together. Table for 51 presents an opportunity to share stories that celebrate the beauty and diversity of the human experience. Shari Leid is a mindset coach, friendship expert, and national speaker whose insights have been featured on NBC’s TODAY show, TIME, and HuffPost. Her journey is a powerful reminder of how small moments - like a meal with a stranger - can reveal universal truths and leave lasting impacts.
