ADRIANA TRIGIANI Author of “Tony’s Wife” and Event Emcee R E C O M M E N D S : “Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America” BY BETH MACY H E R T A K E “‘Dopesick,’ written by the stealth, brilliant, razor-sharp journalist Beth Macy, chronicles the opioid crisis in the Appalachians, including my hometown in southwest Virginia. Macy lives in Roanoke, Virginia, so she has a bird’s eye view of the tragedy. With equal parts compassion, empathy and wisdom, she speaks to the people who believe they can solve the problem, live with the reality of drug addiction, or are in rehabilitation. It’s an eye-opening opus.” SYDNEY DYE Arizona Women’s Board President R E C O M M E N D S : “Gone with the Wind” BY MARGARET MITCHELL H E R T A K E “This classic novel is surprisingly relevant today. The horrors of civil war, survival, issues of race and women’s struggles, coming of age and tragic love are all subjects broached in this 1936 novel set in Georgia during the time of the American Civil War. Mitchell is a master of creating vivid characters and she brings to life difficult scenes from this brutal time in our country’s history. It is worth reading, and more haunting than the movie. The characters seem to get under your skin and stay with you for days.” THERESE ANNE FOWLER Author of “A Well-Behaved Woman” R E C O M M E N D S : “Less” BY ANDREW SEAN GREER H E R T A K E “This recent Pulitzer Prize winner for fiction captivated me from the first page with its wit, its intelligence and its charming, seemingly hapless hero, Arthur Less. The novel has humor and warmth — and a love story, too. Truly a delightful book from start to finish.” Authors and others coming to the 39 th Annual Authors Luncheon recommend a favorite read.

KATHLEEN M c CLAIN Authors Luncheon Chairman R E C O M M E N D S : “The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels” BY JON MEACHAM H E R T A K E “I normally read fiction but once in a while I discover a nonfiction book that is truly inspirational. ‘The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels’ is that book. During this tumultuous political climate, Pulitzer Prize winner John Meacham reminds us that our country has overcome fear and division in the past. His book profiles a diverse group of leaders who have guided our country through difficult times by believing in the future and not looking back. Time and time again our country sought and found, as Lincoln described it, our ‘better angels,’ and won the day.” BOOK APPÉTIT T H E A R I Z O N A W O M E N ’ S B O A R D P R E S E N T S : The 39 th Annual Authors Luncheon S A T U R D A Y , N O V E M B E R 3 , 2 0 1 8 JW Marriott Desert Ridge For information, go to authorsluncheonaz.org .
