Room at the Table

By Kimani Upshur, M.Ed.

Omar Haddad is new in Alder Creek, and his whole life is still in boxes — a new school, a new town, and his family's restaurant, The Cedar House, waiting to reopen two blocks from Mabel's Diner. At the corner booth, Marcus and his friends make room for him before he has done a single thing to earn it, but Omar cannot stop trying to pay for his place with food, fixes, and favors. Room at the Table is a Christian young adult novel about welcome, belonging, and learning to receive a seat you cannot earn, rooted in Romans 15:7: welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you. It is Book Two of The Corner Booth series.

Written from a Christian worldview — Scripture first.
