We are thrilled to host author Annie Hartnett to discuss her novel The Road To Tender Hearts
About this Event

Annie Hartnett is the award-winning author of three novels: Rabbit Cake, Unlikely Animals, and the national bestseller The Road to Tender Hearts, which won the 2025 New England Book Award for fiction and was named a best book of 2025 from NPR, LitHub, and Southern Living. Along with the writer Tessa Fontaine, she co-runs Accountability Workshops for writers, helping writers commit to routines and embrace the long, slow, joyful, terrible process of doing the work. She lives in Massachusetts with her pretty good husband, perfect daughter, and two flawless rescue dogs, Willie Nelson and Minnie Mouse.

The Road To Tender Hearts is a darkly comic and warm-hearted novel about an old man on a cross-country mission to reunite with his high school crush—bringing together his adult daughter, two orphaned kids, and a cat who can predict death. This is a ticketed event, and seating is limited.

This is a ticketed event. Your $5 ticket can be used toward the purchase of a book at the event.

Please note that this event will take place in the rear building at The Contemporary Theater Company, next to the patio.
