About this listen

Loneliness is an epidemic right now, but it doesn't have to be that way. The Turquoise Table is Kristin Schell's invitation to you to connect with your neighbors and build friendships. Featured in Southern Living, Good Housekeeping, and the TODAY Show, Kristin introduces a new way to look at hospitality.

Desperate for a way to slow down and connect, Kristin 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. Alongside personal and heartwarming stories, Kristin gives you:

  • Stress-free ideas for kick-starting your own Turquoise Table
  • Simple recipes to take outside and share with others
  • Stories from people using Turquoise Tables in their neighborhoods
  • Encouragement to overcome barriers that keep you from connecting

This audiobook invites you to make a difference right where you live. It's an ideal audiobook to give to a friend or to keep for yourself. Community and friendship are waiting just outside your front door.

What did you like most about The Turquoise Table?

I think the generosity of the author, and the confidence she installs through her own example.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The author! She had generosity of spirit, a desire to not just be blessed but to bless others with what seems a simple thing but became so much more.

What does Ginny Welsh bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Reality... it was like I was sitting at the real turquoise table and hearing the story from the author over long cups of coffee in all seasons.
