The Heart of the Table
Memoirs of Neighborly Grace
A Legacy of Connection
The Heart of the Table is the narrative soul of The Estate—a personal archive of the moments, matriarchs, and milestones that have defined my path. These are my memoirs; a collection of stories from a lifetime spent refining the intersection of Palm Beach elegance and North Carolina warmth. Beyond the blueprints and the recipes, this is where the routine of connection truly lives. I invite you to explore these volumes of heritage and discovery, curated to remind us all that while food is the instrument, the shared story is the heartbeat of Neighborly Grace.
