A young man leaves his Tennessee mountain home for the creative life in New York
Love, Like Apples by Nashville novelist Jeff Zentner inhabits the vivid cultural climate of 1970s New York City, as a band of puppeteers struggle to create a TV show for teenagers. Romantic entanglements complicate the project. The author will appear at Parnassus Books in Nashville on November 2.
In all the years since I first heard the story, I have not thought of it as anything but true
I still lose sleep thinking about her
But for Fortune is a moving novel of resilience, family trauma, and coping with mental illness
A young woman discovers the world and herself far from home
