Reminiscent in tone to Alice Walker’s The Color Purple, this story is set in New York’s Harlem and in rural Mississippi during the late 1970’s and early 80’s. The story is rich in its portrayal of both the urban and rural spirit, and prolific in its human teachings that demonstrate the love necessary for reconnecting with family members estranged by violence. The novel’s arc takes the reader over the complicated waters of family division due to incest and homophobia. Against a contrasted backdrop of pastoral bluesy tones of Mississippi and jazzy asphalt and graffiti rifts of Harlem, these difficult subjects are traversed melodically and lyrically. The reader is offered both the triumphant depiction of an adult survivor who overcomes obstacles set against her at birth and participation in her courageous journey home. Zelda Lockhart is also the author of Fifth Born, which was a 2002 Barnes & Noble Discovery selection and won a finalist award for debut fiction from the Zora Neale Hurston/Richard Wright Legacy Foundation. She holds a Bachelor’s in English from Norfolk State University. A Master’s in English from Old Dominion University, and a certificate in writing, directing and editing film from the New York Film Academy.

Jane McClaren's story begins as one of failure, depression, and up-and-down weight problems due to emotionally-driven overeating. But in 1975, after an obese friend asked her to join him at a health program in Texas, McClaren's life path took a merciful turn for the better. She jumped at the chance to lose weight, vowing to do it, "even if it kills me!" With steely determination, she launched into a 35-year study of food and health. Always yearning to understand why a young, beautiful, funny, intelligent woman had felt suicidal, she began working with a therapy group that brought her awareness of possible causes and also some peace of mind In Honest Eating, McClaren shares what enabled her to merge her love of food with a healthy attitude and body. She shares her hard-won insights about good foods that "tell the truth" and "bad foods that lie." She celebrates simple, delicious food and artistry in the kitchen. Most importantly, McClaren teaches us that we can be healthy and still maintain a positive -- even lusty -- relationship with food. Jane McClaren earned her B.A. degree in English from William Woods University and an M.A. in English from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. She lives in Southern Pines, NC, where she actively pursues her passions--art, literature, horseback riding, and healthy eating.

Combining the boundless intellect of Malcolm Gladwell with the irreverent humor of Mary Roach and the paradigm-shifting analysis of Jared Diamond, Herzog offers an unprecedented look inside our complex and often paradoxical relationships with animals. Does living with a pet really make people happier and healthier? What can we learn from biomedical research with mice? Who enjoys a better quality of life—the chicken on a dinner plate or a rooster who dies in a Saturday night cockfight? Why is it wrong to eat the family dog? Drawing on over two decades of research in the emerging field of anthrozoology, the science of human-animal relations, Hal Herzog offers surprising answers to these and other questions related to the moral conundrums we face day in and day out regarding the creatures with whom we share our world. Hal Herzog has been published in prestigious academic journals including Science, the Proceedings of the Royal Society, The American Psychologist, The American Scholar, Journal of Social Issues, and the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, and has been featured in Newsweek, USA Today, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, Scientific American, New Scientist, Slate, CNN, National Public Radio’s Morning Edition, MSNBC, Science Daily, the London Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Vancouver Sun, the New Zealand Herald, and India Times. He is Professor of Psychology at Western Carolina University and lives in the Great Smoky Mountains near Asheville, NC, with his wife and their cat Tilly. September 11, 2010 11:00 am McIntyre’s Books www.fearrington.com 919-542-3030 MCINTYRE’S AUTHOR EVENT: HOWARD NORMAN Howard Norman, widely regarded as one of this country's finest novelists, comes to McIntyre’s to read from What is Left The Daughter, where he returns to the mesmerizing fictional terrain of his major books - The Bird Artist, The Museum Guard, and The Haunting of L - in this erotically charged and morally complex story. Seventeen-year-old Wyatt Hillyer is suddenly orphaned when his parents, within hours of each other, jump off two different bridges--the result of their separate involvements with the same compelling neighbor, a Halifax switchboard operator and aspiring actress. The suicides cause Wyatt to move to small-town Middle Economy to live with his uncle, aunt, and ravishing cousin Tilda. Setting in motion the novel's chain of life-altering passions and the wartime perfidy at its core is the arrival of the German student Hans Mohring, carrying only a satchel. Actual historical incidents--including a German U-boat's sinking of the Nova Scotia-Newfoundland ferry Caribou, on which Aunt Constance Hillyer might or might not be traveling--lend intense narrative power to Norman's uncannily layered story. Howard Norman is a three-time winner of National Endowment for the Arts fellowships and a winner of the Lannan Award for fiction. His 1987 novel, The Northern Lights, was nominated for a National Book Award, as was his 1994 novel The Bird Artist. He is also author of the novels The Museum Guard, The Haunting of L, and Devotion. His books have been translated into twelve languages. Norman teaches in the MFA program at the University of Maryland. He lives in Washington, D.C., and Vermont with his wife and daughter.

In this delightful blend of Julie and Julia meets Under the Tuscan Sun, chef Georgia Gray seems to have it all. She's head chef of a hot New York City restaurant, is engaged to her long-time boyfriend, and even has an apartment with a great view. Not even her mother - her worst critic - can find too much to complain about. But when a bad review costs her her job and a fight with Glenn ends the engagement, Georgia takes flight to Italy to nurse her broken heart and bruised ego. In Tuscany, Georgia hones her cooking skills at a new trattoria and her romantic life with the winery owner next door, but she still longs to be back in New York, running her own restaurant. When an offer is made that could make her stay in Italy an indefinite one, Georgia must decide what her dreams truly are - and what she will do to make them come true. Brimming with a love of cooking, a splash of romance, and more than a dash of travel, Georgia's Kitchen, is sure to capture the hearts of foodies and armchair travelers everywhere. September 25, 2010 11:00 am McIntyre’s Books www.fearrington.com 919-542-3030 SATURDAY, AT MCINTYRE’S AUTHOR EVENT: DAN ARIELY & VANESSA WOODS McIntyre’s presents an exciting duo of authors, Dan Ariely and Vanessa Woods. In his groundbreaking book Predictably Irrational, social scientist Dan Ariely revealed the multiple biases that lead us into making unwise decisions. Now, in The Upside of Irrationality, he exposes the surprising and positive effects irrationality can have on our lives. Focusing on our behaviors at work and in relationships, he offers new insights and eye–opening truths about what really motivates us on the job, how one unwise action can become a long-term habit, how we learn to love the ones we’re with, and more. Dan Ariely is the James B. Duke Professor of Psychology and Behavioral Economics at Duke University, with appointments at the Fuqua School of Business, the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, the Department of Economics, and the School of Medicine. He lives in Durham, NC, with his wife and two children. Vanessa Woods will discuss her memoir Bonobo Handshake. Compared to chimps, we know hardly anything about bonobos. They are an extremely endangered ape and share 98.7 percent of our DNA. But while chimpanzees live in male-dominated societies with sexual coercion, infanticide, and war, bonobos are peaceful and female dominated; there is no infanticide or war, and sex is used to resolve conflict. The question is, how much of us is chimpanzee, how much is bonobo? Bonobo Handshake is the story of Vanessa Woods’s journey in search of an answer. Vanessa Woods is a research scientist, journalist, and author. A member of the Hominoid Psychology Research Group, she works at Duke University as well as Lola Ya Bonobo in Congo. She lives in North Carolina with her husband, scientist Brian Hare. Ten percent of the profits of this book will be going to Lola Ya Bonobo.
