{More about The Painted Table}
A beautiful heirloom ingrained with family memory has become a totem of a life Saffee would rather forget—a childhood disrupted by her mother’s mental illness.
Saffee does not want the table. By the time she inherits the object of her mother’s obsession, the surface is thick with haphazard layers of paint, and heavy with unsettling memories.
After a childhood spent watching her mother slide steadily into insanity, painting and re-painting the ancient table, Saffee has come to fear that seeds of psychosis may lie dormant within her. But as an adult with a family of her own, Saffee must confront her mother’s torment if she wants to defend herself against it.
Traversing four generations over the course of a century, The Painted Table is an epic portrait of inherited memory, proclivity, and guilt. It is a sprawling narrative affirmation that a family artifact—like a family member—can bear the marks of one’s entire past . . . as well as intimations of one’s redemption.

My Review;
Suzanne Field has written the story of a young mother's falling into mental illness in the eyes of her daughter. Saffee has the job of watching her mother do stranger things day by day, each worse than the last. Saffee fights her feelings of being unable to help and not knowing what to do. When she has a family table come into her possession she remembers her mother painting and repainting the table. This book is a realistic story of what happens to different members of a family that have to cope with a person with an illness. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book by Litfuse Publicity Group for the purpose of a review. All opinions are my own.
This is amazing. I can't tell you how much I want to win!!! My husband is in the Air Force and we're moving to a new base next month. We can't paint our new house on base, so having an item like this would be fabulous to help our house feel like a home. Having a copy of this book would be SO WONDERFUL to curl up with while I wait to find a new community. Thanks for the great giveaway! HAPPY NEW YEAR and thank you again. :D
