SUMMARY:Brendan Slocumb\, The Dark Maestro
DESCRIPTION:Join McIntyre’s Books for Brendan Slocumb\, The Dark Maestro on Sat\, May 17\, 2pm-3pm. From the author of The Violin Conspiracy and Symphony of Secrets comes a mesmerizing page-turner about a musical virtuoso who’s forced into hiding when his family runs afoul of a ruthless criminal organization—and how he uses music to bring his enemies to justice. A propulsive and moving story about sacrifice\, loyalty\, and the indomitable human spirit\, The Dark Maestro is Slocumb at the height of his powers. \nBOOK SUMMARY \nCurtis Wilson is a cello prodigy\, growing up in the Southeast D.C. projects with a drug dealer for a father. But through determination and talent\, and the loving support of his father’s girlfriend\, Larissa\, Curtis claws his way out of his challenging circumstances and rises to unimagined heights in the classical music world—even soloing with the New York Philharmonic. \nAnd then\, suddenly\, his life disintegrates. His father\, Zippy\, turns state’s evidence\, implicating his old bosses to the FBI. Now the family—Curtis included—must enter the witness protection program if they want to survive. This means Curtis must give up what he loves most: sharing his extraordinary musical talents with the world. When Zippy’s bosses prove too elusive for law enforcement to convict them\, Curtis\, Zippy\, and Larissa realize that their only chance of survival is to take on the cartel themselves. They must create new identities and draw on their unique talents\, including Curtis’s musical ability\, to go after those who want them dead. But will it be enough to keep Curtis and his family alive? \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nBrendan Nicholaus Slocumb was raised in Fayetteville\, North Carolina\, and holds a degree in music education (with concentrations in violin and viola) from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. For more than twenty years\, he has been a public and private school music educator and has performed with orchestras throughout Northern Virginia\, Maryland\, and Washington\, D.C. \nFearrington Village is part of the Chatham County Craft Beverages & Country Inns Trail.

SUMMARY:Annie Hartnett\, The Road to Tender Hearts
DESCRIPTION:Join McIntyre’s Books for Annie Hartnett\, The Road to Tender Hearts on Sat\, May 24\, 11am-12pm. \nBOOK SUMMARY \n\n\n\nAt sixty-three years old\, million-dollar lottery winner PJ Halliday would be the luckiest man in Pondville\, Massachusetts\, if it weren’t for the tragedies of his life: the sudden death of his eldest daughter and the way his marriage fell apart after that. Since then\, PJ spends both his money and his time at the bar\, and he probably doesn’t have much time left—he’s had three heart attacks already. \nBut when PJ reads the obituary of his old romantic rival\, he realizes his high school sweetheart\, Michelle Cobb\, is finally single again. Filled with a new enthusiasm for life\, PJ drives across the country to the Tender Hearts Retirement Community in Arizona to win Michelle back. \nBefore PJ can hit the road\, tragedy strikes Pondville\, leaving PJ the sudden guardian of his estranged brother’s grandchildren. Anyone else would be deterred from the planned trip\, but PJ figures the orphaned kids might benefit from getting out of town. PJ also thinks he can ask Sophie\, his adult daughter who’s adrift in her twenties\, to come along to babysit. And there’s one more surprise addition to the roster: Pancakes\, a former nursing home therapy cat with a knack for predicting death\, who recently turned up outside PJ’s home. \nThis could be the second chance PJ has long hoped for—a fresh shot at love and parenting—but does he have the strength to do both those things again? It’s very possible his heart can’t take it. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nAnnie Hartnett is the author of Unlikely Animals\, which won the Julia Ward Howe Prize for fiction and was longlisted for the Joyce Carol Oates Prize. She is also the author of Rabbit Cake\, a finalist for the New England Book Award and a Kirkus Reviews best book of the year. Hartnett has been awarded fellowships and residencies from the MacDowell Colony\, the Sewanee Writers’ Conference\, and the Associates of the Boston Public Library. Along with writer Tessa Fontaine\, she co-runs the Accountability Workshops for writers\, helping them commit to routines and embrace the long\, slow\, joyful\, terrible process of doing the work. She lives in Massachusetts with her husband\, daughter\, and dog. \nFearrington Village is part of the Chatham County Craft Beverages & Country Inns Trail. See more events at Fearrington Village.
