What do you bring to the table?

In I Am the Table: The Manifesto for Her, The Manual for Him, author India Trotter serves a bold, soulful, and refreshingly honest guide to modern love and emotional maturity — for women who’ve grown wiser and the men brave enough to meet them there.

For women, it’s a manifesto — a declaration that peace, standards, and self-worth aren’t arrogance, they’re alignment.

For men, it’s a manual — a roadmap to understanding the heart of the mature, self-aware woman who’s done healing, done fixing, and done settling.

With her signature blend of humor, heart, and holy side-eye, India dives into real grown-folk truths: that “body count” doesn’t define worth, that peace is the new love language, and that a woman’s independence doesn’t make her unlovable — it makes her whole.

From The Golden Rule: She Who Holds the Gold Makes the Rules to With or Without You and The Table Setting Manifesto, India redefines connection through confidence, communication, and calm. She reminds listeners that maturity isn’t about age — it’s about awareness — and that love only works when both people are ready to show up healed.

For the women who are tired of auditioning for seats at tables they built — and the men who are ready to sit down, listen, and lead with peace — this book is your invitation.

Because the answer to “What do you bring to the table?” has always been the same:

I am the table — built from boundaries, seasoned with experience, and steady enough to hold what’s real.
