SUMMARY:Libby Buck\, Port Anna
DESCRIPTION:Join McIntyre’s Books for Libby Buck\, Port Anna on Sat\, Nov 22\, 11am-12pm. This enchanting debut novel\, exploring second chances and blossoming romance in a charming port town in Maine\, is perfect for fans of J. Courtney Sullivan’s The Cliffs and Catherine Newman’s Sandwich. \nBOOK SUMMARY \nJust about everything has gone wrong for Gwen Gilmore over the past year. She’s lost her mother\, her teaching job\, and been dumped by her—albeit not that great—long-term boyfriend. Adrift and out of options\, she packs her life into her barely functioning car and makes the lonely drive north\, to the only place she can think of going: her family’s aging cottage on the Maine coast\, Periwinkle\, which she’s recently inherited. \nThe cottage and Port Anna\, the foggy Maine town of Gwen’s childhood\, are unchanged in many ways. For Gwen\, they are full of the ghosts of her past—boyfriends\, forgotten creative dreams\, and painful memories of a sister lost too young. Periwinkle is also home to some more literal ghosts: The Misses\, friendly spirits who have long watched over the cottage\, but who now seem strangely unsettled\, slamming doors and moving furniture in the night. And behind its charming façade\, Port Anna has not escaped the realities of modern life. Family homes are being razed to make space for garish condos\, the cottage\, coveted by a relentless local realtor\, is about to be condemned\, and the unsolved disappearance of a teenage girl has set the town on edge. On the face of it\, it’s an odd place to try to make a new start. \nBut there are glimmers of hope everywhere\, if only Gwen can open herself up to possibility. Sparks fly with Leandro\, an Argentinian artist\, as aloof and witty as he is wildly attractive. Old friends and former flames come out of the woodwork\, bringing with them new opportunities and chances to laugh again. Even in the face of potential happiness\, though\, it seems some secrets refuse to stay buried. As the summer crowds return to the city and the locals hunker down for another harsh Maine winter\, Gwen will be forced to make choices that will change her life forever. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nLibby Buck earned a PhD in art history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She and her husband share three daughters\, an English cocker spaniel\, and an abiding love for the great state of Maine. Port Anna is Libby’s first novel. \nFearrington Village is part of the Chatham County Craft Beverages & Country Inns Trail. See more events at Fearrington Village.

SUMMARY:Justin Laborde: Scattered Far and Wide
DESCRIPTION:Join McIntyre’s Books for Justin Laborde: Scattered Far and Wide – The Naval Academy Class of ’38 at War on Sat\, Oct 25\, 11am-12pm. \nBOOK SUMMARY \n\n\nScattered Far and Wide follows the U.S. Naval Academy Class of 1938 as they rise from junior officers to combat leaders in World War II’s most pivotal battles. Through firsthand accounts and deep research\, Justin Laborde brings their stories of courage\, sacrifice\, and survival vividly to life. \nScattered Far and Wide tells the war stories of U.S. Naval Academy midshipmen from the Class of 1938. Commissioned on the eve of World War II\, they bore the new burden of command while at the forefront of the Pacific War’s most significant and most pivotal campaigns. They felt the wind and spray in their faces\, and the percussion of ships’ guns and depth charges at the pivotal moment in their lives and careers\, making their experiences unusually compelling\, heartbreaking\, and—most assuredly—instructive. \nFrom Pearl Harbor through the end of the war\, these men fought and struggled for survival as part of the U.S. Navy’s Asiatic Fleet. In the early months of the conflict\, they tried to stem the onslaught of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Some were captured and sent to brutal prisoner-of-war camps. Others took to the air from aircraft carriers as members of torpedo\, bomber\, and fighter squadrons during the Battles of the Coral Sea and Midway. Later in the war\, a number served aboard submarines\, experiencing some of the most legendary patrols in the history of the Silent Service. The young men who graduated from the Naval Academy in 1938 earned medals and fame\, left legacies of heroism and loss\, and sparked tales of renown and bravery that reverberate today. \n\n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nJustin Laborde\, PhD\, is a strategic consultant and frequent speaker on consumer trends\, marketplace insights\, and business growth strategies for Fortune 500 companies. Raised in New Orleans\, Louisiana\, Justin now lives with his wife\, Amanda\, and their three children in Cary\, North Carolina. Justin’s grandfather\, Alden Laborde\, was a member of the Class of 1938. Upon his death\, Justin obtained a 1938 edition of The Lucky Bag\, the Naval Academy’s yearbook. Reading the memoirs of Alden’s classmates\, Justin realized he was well-placed to tell the fascinating and previously unreported story of this class’s experiences in World War II. \nFearrington Village is part of the Chatham County Craft Beverages & Country Inns Trail.

SUMMARY:Sara Johnson: Bone Chilling
DESCRIPTION:Join McIntyre’s Books for Sara Johnson: Bone Chilling on Sat\, Oct 18\, 11am-12pm. \nBOOK SUMMARY \n\n\nAlexa Glock is teetering on a precipice\, the ground threatening to open up beneath her―and it’s not just the immediate peril of retrieving a long-lost hiker’s skull\, given up by a melting and dangerous glacier. She’s spending a ski weekend with boyfriend DI Bruce Horne and his two daughters\, and she couldn’t be more terrified. An entire weekend trying to win over a sullen teenager and a preteen with obvious loyalties to Mom? She’s more comfortable\, almost sliding to her death on an unstable glacier. When she indeed finds herself dangling in a crevasse waiting for the experts to rescue her\, she discovers a pelvis (wearing a red Speedo!) frozen in the ice\, and the heartbreaking task of identifying multiple remains and bringing closure to families begins. \nOnce safely back on terra firma\, awaiting the arrival of Bruce and his dreaded daughters\, Alexa follows the smell of smoke to a nearby pizza joint which has been completely destroyed by fire. When a body is discovered in the smoldering ruins\, Alexa splits her time between fire and ice\, working to identify a family’s long-lost loved one and the charred remains of the fire victim. Then an avalanche during a snowboard competition leaves Bruce’s oldest daughter missing along with the snowboarder she’s been hanging out with. As Bruce and other rescuers race to find the missing teens\, evidence begins to suggest that neither the fire nor the avalanche were accidents\, and that the daughter’s boyfriend might have information about both… \n\n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nSara E. Johnson is a mystery writer who spent nine months exploring wondrous New Zealand. Everywhere she looked\, there was a mystery that needed to be written. Sara lives in Durham\, North Carolina\, with her husband and is a graduate of the Durham Citizen Police Academy.

SUMMARY:Joseph Bathanti\, Too Glorious to Even Long For on Certain Days
DESCRIPTION:Join McIntyre’s Books for Joseph Bathanti\, Too Glorious to Even Long For on Certain Days on Sat\, Aug 30\, 11am-12pm. \nBOOK SUMMARY \n\n\nJoseph Bathanti’s novella\, “Too Glorious to Even Long for on Certain Days\,” follows Fritz Sweeney through a pivotal summer in 1973\, set against the backdrop of working-class Pittsburgh. Fritz grapples with an existential crisis triggered by his job at Acme Toy Warehouse\, which he finds absurd and meaningless. This sense of absurdity is deepened by his fascination with Albert Camus’s philosophy\, as seen in “The Myth of Sisyphus” and “The Stranger\,” which he was introduced to during his first college literature class by an enigmatic Vietnam veteran professor. Further complicating Fritz’s life is his relationship with Claire Raffo\, his mysterious girlfriend with whom he is precariously and hopelessly entangled. Throughout Too Glorious to Even Long for on Certain Days\, Fritz confronts numerous moral crossroads\, challenging his beliefs\, understanding of existence\, and his place in an ultimately unforgiving world. \n\n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nJoseph Bathanti is the former North Carolina Poet Laureate (2012-14); recipient of the North Carolina Award in Literature\, the state’s highest civilian honor; and an inductee of the North Carolina Literary Hall of Fame.

At the turn of the century\, a twelve-year-old girl from Kerala’s long-existing Christian community\, grieving the death of her father\, is sent by boat to her wedding\, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time. From this unforgettable new beginning\, the young girl—and future matriarch\, known as Big Ammachi—will witness unthinkable changes over the span of her extraordinary life\, full of joy and triumph as well as hardship and loss\, her faith and love the only constants. \nA shimmering evocation of a bygone India and of the passage of time itself\, The Covenant of Water is a hymn to progress in medicine and to human understanding\, and a humbling testament to the difficulties undergone by past generations for the sake of those alive today. It is one of the most masterful literary novels published in recent years. \n\n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nAbraham Verghese is a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and the author of the NBCC Award finalist My Own Country and the New York Times Notable Book\, The Tennis Partner.

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.

When a stranger named Charlie Jameson contacts her from London\, claiming to have discovered a handwritten dictionary of her mother’s lost language. Clara is skeptical. Compelled by the tragedy of her mother’s vanishing\, she crosses the Atlantic with Wynnie only to arrive during one of London’s most deadly natural disasters—the Great Smog. With asthmatic Wynnie in peril\, they escape the city with Charlie and find refuge in the Jameson’s family retreat nestled in the Lake District.

SUMMARY:"The Book of Flaco" with David Gessner and Nina de Gramont
DESCRIPTION:Join McIntyre’s Books for this Author Event\, “The Book of Flaco\,” with David Gessner and Nina de Gramont on Sat\, Mar 15\, 11am-12pm. Discover the story of Flaco\, the Eurasian eagle-owl who escaped from Central Park Zoo and captured the hearts and imaginations of millions of followers from around the world. \nBOOK SUMMARY \n\n\n\nThis is a parable of freedom\, wildness\, and our urban ecosystems. Flaco has been dubbed “the world’s most famous bird.” From the night in February of 2023 when vandals cut a hole in his cage until his death a year later in a courtyard on the Upper West Side\, his is a story full of adventure and unexpected turns. \nNature writer David Gessner chronicles the year-long odyssey of Flaco and the human drama that followed the owl who captured the imaginations of New Yorkers and people worldwide. Though he’d spent his life in a cage\, Flaco learned to survive in New York City by eating rats\, squirrels\, and birds. He was an immigrant coming from elsewhere to make it in the big city. Central Park\, the island of green in an urban sea\, was his new home territory. \nFlaco’s urban adventure brought controversy\, pitting those who felt he should be returned to the zoo’s safety against those who created the “Free Flaco” movement. The birding world was fractured over the ethics of the online sharing of his location that brought hordes of observers to view him each day. And his end—with a grim necropsy revealing Flaco had suffered a viral infection from eating pigeons and had multiple rodenticides in his system—serves as a Rachel Carson-esque warning about the harm we’ve done to our urban environments\, inspiring the passage of long-sought legislation protecting urban birds and regulations meant to reduce the use of rodenticides in New York City. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nDavid Gessner is the author of thirteen books that blend a love of nature\, humor\, memoir\, and environmentalism\, including the New York Times bestselling All the Wild That Remains. Gessner is a professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington\, where he also founded the literary magazine Ecotone. His magazine publications include pieces in the New York Times Magazine\, Outside\, Orion\, and many other magazines. In 2017\, he hosted the National Geographic Explorer show The Call of the Wild. \nNina de Gramont is the author of the acclaimed Meet Me at the River and Every Little Thing in the World as well as the story collection Of Cats and Men and the adult novel The Gossip of Starlings. Her work has appeared in Redbook\, Harvard Review\, Nerve\, and Seventeen. \nFearrington Village is part of the Chatham County Craft Beverages & Country Inns Trail.

SUMMARY:"Southern News\, Southern Politics" with Rob Christiansen
DESCRIPTION:Join McIntyre’s Books for this Author Event\, “Southern News\, Southern Politics: How a Newspaper Defined a State for a Century\,” with Rob Christiansen on Sat\, Mar 8\, 11am-12pm. Discover the surprising history of North Carolina’s best-known newspaper. \nBOOK SUMMARY \n\n\n\nHere\, Christensen tells the story of the N&O and how it helped shape modern North Carolina in complicated ways. It’s also the story of a family dynasty: four generations of the Daniels family owned and ran the N&O. They not only helped elect governors but also played an influential role in national American politics—family members served as political lieutenants to William Jennings Bryan\, Woodrow Wilson\, Franklin Roosevelt\, and Harry Truman. \nChristensen takes readers from the N&O’s early days at the turn of the twentieth century as the militant voice of white supremacy to its denunciation by segregationist Jesse Helms for “selling out the South” in the 1960s and finally to its dwindling current fortunes. By telling the story of one important regional newspaper\, Christensen shows how influence and messaging affect the politics of a state and a region for generations. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nNewspapers are a tough business\, and no one knows that better than Rob Christensen\, who was chief political reporter and columnist at North Carolina’s capital newspaper\, the News and Observer in Raleigh\, for decades. \nFearrington Village is part of the Chatham County Craft Beverages & Country Inns Trail.

Then she meets charismatic local singer Bobby Tunde\, and they share a night of passion that could upend everything. Seeking solace and distraction\, she returns to her painting and her home in a rural town\, where she plants a lemon tree and unearths an ancient statue buried in her garden. She knows that the dancing female figure is not hers to keep\, yet she is reluctant to give it up\, and soon\, she notices other changes that make her wonder what the dancing woman might portend.  \nAgainst the backdrop of political unrest in Nigeria\, Isabel’s situation also becomes precarious. She finds herself in the center of a tide of suspicion\, torn between the confines of her domestic life and the desire to immerse herself in her art and the culture surrounding her. The expat society\, the ancient Nigerian culture\, her family\, and even the statue hidden in a back room—each trouble and beguile Isabel. Amid all this\, can she finally become who she wants to be? \n\n\n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nElaine Neil Orr is the author of five books\, including the novels “A Different Sun” and “Swimming Between Worlds.” Born and raised in Nigeria as the daughter of missionary parents\, Orr’s work is deeply rooted in the landscapes of the American South and the Nigerian South.
