In this “moving portrayal of the effects of a wrongful conviction on a young African-American couple” (Barack Obama\, on selecting the novel for his summer reading list)\, Jones introduces us to Celestial and Roy\, a newlywed couple standing on the threshold of the American Dream. When Roy is arrested and sentenced to 12 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit\, their lives implode. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“It’s among Tayari’s many gifts that she can touch us soul to soul with her words.” — Oprah Winfrey \n\n\n\n\nJones’ other novels include Leaving Atlanta\, The Untelling\, and Silver Sparrow.

SUMMARY:Author Entertainment Series - Perry Buffington
DESCRIPTION:Scarecrows in the Garden\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for Author Series\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChristmas With The Wise Men\n\n\n\n“Fun” is Dr. Buffington’s middle name. Interesting\, relatable\, engaging\, insightful and entertaining are all adjectives that describe this author. From academic works to his latest book\, Christmas With The Wise Men\, Dr. Buffington truly covers the gambit.  In this sequel to Christmas in Angel Land\, the ‘little professor’ is at it again!  After his trip to Angel Land last Christmas\, where he found a way to fix an angel’s broken wings\, Carson somehow\, someway\, managed to find himself traveling back in time with “Three Wise Men.” But before this new adventure\, he reunited with his friends (including his nemesis\, Wanda) and made it through the 3rd Grade Nativity Pageant. It looked like it would be a quiet\, uneventful Christmas until his Angel Land pals called the Little Professor into action. Now\, Carson played a surprising role at the very first Nativity. As the Wise Men followed the star and moved closer to the Nativity on that very\, very first Christmas Day\, one catastrophic event\, a surprising twist of fate\, and an unexpected mystery made it another Christmas to remember. It’s a story of five gifts to the Christ Child. Four questions answered. Three Wise Men redeemed. Two miracles manifested. And one mystery solved. \n\n\n\nMeet The Author\n\n\n\nDr. Perry Buffington is a prolific writer and author of 16 books\, from academic works to a series of smart/fun books entitled “Cheap Psychological Tricks. He was the first featured guest expert on CNN’s “Parenting Today” and a popular guest on radio and television\, hosting a show “ParentWise” that aired daily in more than 75 cities. He also hosted “The Dr. Buff Show\,” which was heard on WGST AM and FM in Atlanta. He has also written for the Saturday Evening Post\, The New York Times\, USA Today\, Success\, New Woman\, Delta Airlines’ Sky Magazine and wrote a fascinating anecdotal history of Atlanta. Known affectionally by his students as “Dr. Buff\,” he is a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of private-practice experience and is a UGA Griffin professor in the UGA Psychology Department.  The Psychology Department recognized Dr. Buff as the recipient of the Psi Chi Undergraduate Teaching Award\, the department’s main undergraduate teaching award. He is native Georgian with B.A. from Georgia Southern\, M.A. from UGA and a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Kentucky.

SUMMARY:Author Entertainment Series - Robert Gwaltney
DESCRIPTION:Scarecrows in the Garden\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister for Author Series\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSing Down the Moon\n\n\n\nSixteen-year-old Leontyne Skye longs to escape Good Hope\, a barrier island off the coast of Georgia—and the cursed birthright that binds her to it. For generations\, the women of the Skye line have tended Damascus\, an ancient fig tree whose siren song lures the dead across the river. The figs it bears are harvested to create Redemption\, a drug that tethers the island to the dead\, slowly consuming the Skye women from the inside out. \n\n\n\nLeontyne’s mother\, Eulalee\, is already disappearing—memory\, hair\, teeth—into the salt-stung air. And Leontyne is unraveling too\, since the accident known as Tribulation Day\, when she lost her hand and all sense of who she was before. As her memories resurface in fractured pieces\, and her childhood friends\, Rebecca and Avery\, twist truth to their own ends\, Leontyne faces a cruel inheritance aiming to destroy her. \n\n\n\nWhen Journey Wintergarden arrives\, mysterious and magnetic\, precarious relationships unravel\, threatening to upend everything\, derailing Leontyne’s plans to escape Good Hope. As desire\, betrayal\, and memory collide\, the haints grow restless. Leontyne’s refusal to tend the tree means shattering the fragile balance between the living and the dead. Accepting her fate means becoming the Great Redeemer—and losing herself completely. \n\n\n\n\n“Robert Gwaltney’s sophomore follow-up to The Cicada Tree is Southern Gothic at its finest.  With beautiful prose and an artist’s eye\, his descriptions immerse the reader in the beauty and fairy-tale magic of coastal Georgia.  Characters who are wounded both physically and emotionally populate this story of family legacy and the price of betrayal. This is the perfect read for fans of Southern fiction and magical realism and for those who enjoy savoring every word.”  \n\n\n\n– Karen White\, New York Times bestselling author of That Last Carolina Summer \n\n\n\n\nMeet the Author\n\n\n\nRobert Gwaltney\, a recipient of the 2022 Pat Conroy Writers Residency\, was named 2023 Georgia Author of the Year for his debut novel\, The Cicada Tree. He resides in Atlanta Georgia where he is an active member of the Atlanta literary community serving as a board member for Broadleaf Writers Association. Robert’s work has appeared in such publications as Southbound Magazine\, Southern Literary Review\, The Blue Mountain Review\, and The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature. His forthcoming novel\, Sing Down The Moon\, which has been awarded the Somerset Award for Literary and Contemporary Fiction\, will be published by Mercer University Press in the Spring of 2026. \n\n\n\n\n“There is so much to admire in Robert Gwaltney’s new novel—how it is both intensely Southern yet also reminiscent of the magical realism of writers such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez; its appealing heroine caught between the demands of her community (both the living and the dead) and the desires of her own heart; its delightful blend of colloquial and lyric language—all of which make Sing Down the Moon a remarkable achievement.” \n\n\n\n—Ron Rash\, New York Times bestselling author of Serena and The Caretaker
