More Chairs & New Walls - A Platinum Chocolate Family Saga
Book Two of The Chair Series
David and Simone Price begin married life in a borrowed room. They have a repaired ring, careful plans for their money, and a promise to tell each other the truth-even when the truth is difficult. As they move into their first apartment and welcome six children, the life they imagined becomes louder, fuller, and far less predictable.
Marcus watches over everyone before he knows what that responsibility costs. Sarah finds her voice through music. Julian and Elise make their own places in a crowded family. Nia can charm her way around almost any rule, though her shortcuts and unnecessary lies keep catching up with her. Maya, the youngest, grows up surrounded by the stories and expectations of those who came before her. Through births, celebrations, arguments, frightening choices, and ordinary evenings around the table, David and Simone learn that each child needs a different kind of love.
Their ambitions grow alongside the family. David advances in his career, and he and Simone sacrifice to buy their first home and, later, two rental properties. Simone's eye for design helps shape the rooms they live in, even as some of her own dreams must wait. To neighbors and old friends, the Prices look like a family that has made it. Behind their walls are repairs they cannot postpone, bills they must face, children they cannot protect from every hurt, and conversations David and Simone sometimes struggle to have with each other.
Clara and Walter remain close, bringing supper, music, advice, laughter, and the occasional unwelcome truth. Their presence reminds David and Simone where they came from as they try to decide what kind of home they are building for their children.
More Chairs & New Walls is a sweeping story of marriage and family across the years when every chair seems occupied. Warmth and faith carry the Prices through much, but love alone cannot settle every debt or excuse every secret. As their children grow toward lives of their own, David and Simone must find the courage to keep the promise on which their marriage began.
