Book Talk & Signing for Bestselling Author Amy Hill Hearth
 Greenville, SC, September 19, 2012 - New York Times bestselling author Amy Hill Hearth will be discussing and signing her new novel, and first fiction work, Miss Dreamsville and the Collier County Women's Literary Society (Atria, paperback, $15.00), at Fiction Addiction on Thursday, October 11th, at 7:00pm. Ms. Hearth will talk for 20 minutes, take questions from the audience, and sign books. Tickets are $5.00 but may be redeemed for $5 off any merchandise purchase made that evening. Tickets can be purchased online or by calling 864-675-0540.
In 1962, Jackie Hart moves to Naples, Florida, from Boston with her husband and children. Wanting something personally fulfilling to do with her time, she starts a reading club and anonymously hosts a radio show, calling herself Miss Dreamsville.
The racially segregated town falls in love with Miss Dreamsville, but doesn't know what to make of Jackie, who welcomes everyone into her book club, including a woman who did prison time for allegedly killing her husband, a man of questionable sexual preference, a young divorcee, as well as a black woman.
By the end of this novel, you'll be wiping away the tears of laugher and sadness, and you just may become a bit more hopeful that even the most hateful people can see the light of humanitarianism, if they just give themselves a chance.
