Tea for Twenty by Lizbeth Selvig
Part of the Love from Kennison Falls series and the newest addition to The Getaway Chronicles Series
Paul Murphy, once voted “most likely to become a stand-up comedian,” in high school is as far from Open Mic night as he can get. Now a single father of three kids: Violet, an introspective fourteen-year-old; Ivy, an animal-crazy four-year-old; and Oliver, a bright eleven-year-old on the autism spectrum, Paul also runs a camp for autistic kids on a dwindling budget. It’s Oliver, whose affinity for a certain reality baking show who gets a grand idea for his twelfth birthday: a formal afternoon tea that will be a fundraiser for the camp.
​
Enter Lucy Jordan, a button-down tea shop owner who specializes in organizing English tea parties—but specializes in “Tea for Twenty”—in other words, small groups. When Paul tries to enlist her help for a much bigger endeavor, Lucy at first declines. But she finds herself drawn to Paul's warmth, humor, and devotion to his children—things that stir emotions she thought she had tucked away.
​
As Lucy learns more about the Murphy’s chaotic but big-hearted life, she warms to the family—and finds a missing piece of herself in Paul. As Paul’s attraction for Lucy grows, he finds in her a steady and gentle presence his hectic life and lonely heart needs. In the end they work together to attempt the unlikely: a Tea for far more than Twenty that blossoms into something much grander than either expected.
