McIntyre’s is delighted to host best-selling author Sarah Dessen as she comes to read from her latest work, Lock and Key. In this book, Dessen explores the heart of a gutsy, complex girl dealing with unforeseen circumstances and learning to trust again. It is the story of Ruby, who for months has been on her own in a yellow house, managing somehow, knowing that her mother will probably never return. She comes to live with Cora, the sister she hasn’t seen in ten years, and Cora’s husband Jamie, whose down-to-earth demeanor makes it hard for Ruby to believe he founded the most popular networking Web site around. A luxurious house, fancy private school, a new wardrobe, the promise of college and a future—it’s a dream come true. So why is Ruby such a reluctant Cinderella, wary and defensive? And why is Nate, the genial boy next door with some secrets of his own, unable to accept the help that Ruby is just learning to give? Call McIntyre’s Fine Books at (919) 542-3030 for details.

McIntyre’s is pleased to host Army Colonel (Ret.) and diplomat Ann Wright, who resigned her State Department post during the run-up to war in Iraq. She was one among dozens of government insiders and active-duty military personnel who leaked documents, spoke out, resigned, or refused to deploy in protest of government actions they felt were illegal. In her book, Dissent: Voices of Conscience, Government Insiders Speak Out Against The War in Iraq, Ann Wright and Susan Dixon tell the stories of these men and women who risked careers, reputations, and even freedom out of loyalty to the Constitution and the rule of law.

McIntyre’s welcomes Janet Lembke to discuss her book Because The Cat Purrs: How We Relate To Other Species and Why it Matters, where she explores the dynamic relationship between man and beast. We share our lives with a multitude of animals; but, for the most part, humans drift along separately, with little interest in each other or the animal kingdom. Armed with her signature lyrical prose, Lembke calls readers to reflect on our interactions with all earth’s inhabitants, big and small. She challenges readers to consider the idea that all creatures are conscious, with the ability to make choices, exercise awareness, and seek pleasure while shunning pain. As The New York Times Book Review noted, “her passionate connection with the natural world is displayed in line after line.” Call McIntyre’s Fine Books at (919) 542-3030 for details.

Melissa Delbridge comes to McIntyre’s to discuss her book The Family Bible. Starting with her father, who never met a whitetail buck he couldn't shoot, a whiskey bottle he couldn't empty, or a woman he couldn't charm, and her mother, who "invented road rage before 1960," Melissa Delbridge introduces us to the people in her own family bible. Readers will find elements of Southern Gothic and familiar vernacular characters, but Delbridge endows each with her startling and original interpretation. In this disarmingly unguarded and unapologetic memoir, she shows us what really happened in the "stew of religion and sex" that was 1960s Tuscaloosa. Crackling with wit, frighteningly smart, both drop-dead funny and wrenchingly sad, The Family Bible is a stunning personal history. Call McIntyre’s Fine Books at (919) 542-3030 for details.

Leif Enger joins us a McIntyre’s to discuss So Brave, Young and Handsome. A stunning successor to his best selling novel Peace Like a River, (a BookSense independent bookseller’s Book of the Year when it was published) Leif Enger's new work is a rugged and nimble story about an aging train robber on a quest to reconcile the claims of love and judgment on his life, and the failed writer who goes with him. The staff at McIntyre’s - all of us - have become huge fans of Leif Enger. We’ve never agreed on one book much less one author and TWO books… he’s a skilled storyteller and will satisfy seekers of a good story, good historical fiction, or a well turned phrase.

McIntyre’s is thrilled host one of our very favorite authors, Rick Bragg, visiting to read from The Prince of Frogtown, the final installment of his beloved American saga that began with All Over But The Shoutin’ and continued with Ava’s Man. Rick Bragg closes his circle of family stories with an unforgettable tale about fathers and sons inspired by his own relationship with his ten-year-old stepson. The Prince of Frogtown documents a mesmerizing journey back in time to the lush Alabama landscape of Rick’s youth, to Jacksonville’s one-hundred-year-old mill, and to a troubled, charismatic hustler coming of age in its shadow, Rick’s father; a man bound to bring harm even to those he truly loves. The book also documents the unexpected corollary to it, the marvelous journey of Rick’s later life: a journey into fatherhood, and toward a child for whom he comes to feel a devotion that staggers him. With candor, insight, tremendous humor, and the remarkable gift for descriptive storytelling on which he made his name, Rick Bragg delivers a brilliant and moving rumination on the lives of boys and men, a poignant reflection on what it means to be a father and a son. This event will take place at the new Garden Terrace - Call McIntyre’s Fine Books at (919) 542-3030 for details and to reserve your spot! |
