Room at the Table: Finding Faith in Shadow of an American Dream

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. As a little girl, Lisa Turner Moceri played beneath a dining room table in a world of private airplanes, cheering crowds, and a marble castle. Her father, Glenn W. Turner, told people they could become anything. To the world, he was a charismatic businessman surrounded by success and controversy. To Lisa, he was Daddy. Then came divorce, separation, and the slow unraveling of the world she thought was secure. In Room At The Table: Finding Faith in the Shadow of an American Dream, Lisa tells the story of growing up behind the public spectacle—and carrying her longing to be loved into teenage motherhood, difficult relationships, and a family of her own. She remembers her father with affection while exploring the uncertainty and loss that shaped her childhood. As marriage, motherhood, cancer, and caregiving bring new fears, Lisa begins to confront what she cannot control. Through Scripture, steadfast friendships, and moments of surrender, her faith deepens. Forgiveness becomes personal, and belonging begins to mean something different from being wanted or needed. Told with warmth, humor, and candor, this Christian memoir offers companionship to readers carrying family wounds, questioning their worth, or learning to trust God through circumstances they would never have chosen. The table from Lisa’s childhood still stands in her home. Around it, a new generation gathers—and there is room for those still finding their way.
