They say it takes a village to raise a child, but how, exactly, do you create and sustain that village You're in Good Company, by Ashlee Gadd and the writers of Coffee + Crumbs, is a heartfelt collection of stories celebrating the unique roles that food, friendship, and hospitality play within the context of motherhood.

Through captivating and honest essays, Ashlee and the Coffee + Crumbs team invite moms to rediscover—and even redefine—what hospitality can look like in a busy, lonely world. Hint: it looks less like glamorous dinner parties, and more like ordinary grace around the backyard fire pit.

You're in Good Company: The Gift of Friendship, Motherhood, and Showing Up mixes personal stories, reflections, and helpful ideas, all based on the belief that hospitality doesn’t need to be perfect to matter. From folding laundry together on the living room floor to sobbing together at the top of a hike, these essays will prompt you to laugh, cry, and immediately pick up your phone to text a friend.

This book is for anyone who wants: 

• Deeper connections, richer friendships, and a more engaged sense of community.
• Tangible examples of creating sacred, memorable moments in the midst of a busy life. 
• Encouragement to approach hospitality through a lens of faith, love, and belonging.

You're in Good Company offers practical ways to deepen friendships, featuring recipes that go along with each essay. From a dish full of cultural tradition to the comfort of baking sourdough as a form of healing, these are stories about feeding people and being fed—not for the sake of performance, but for the sake of presence.

This book gently reminds you that hospitality is about showing up, consistently and imperfectly, with love and care. You're In Good Company is not a book you simply read; this is a book you live.
