 urchase at the event for $25\, cash only.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE
  BOOK</strong></p>\n<p>From the author of<em> Mercury</em> and <em>Shiner<
 /em> comes a novel that celebrates the meteoric ways a female folk star ca
 n disappear\, reinvent herself\, and inspire a fresh generation to sing.</
 p>\n<p>When young folk singer Elle Harlow reaches the height of her prowes
 s in 1973\, she has twowildly beloved albums to her name and a hidden hist
 ory of impossible heartbreak. After she sets foot on the famed Grand Ole O
 pry stage\, a far cry from the mountain that raised her\, Elle gives the b
 iggest performance of her life. Then\, to the dismay of shocked fans\, her
  producer\, and the man who still loves her\, she vanishes.</p>\n<p>Almost
  two decades later\, eighteen-year-old Marijohn Shaw is spending her summe
 r pumping gas\, writing songs on her broken mandolin\, and longing for a m
 other. Her father Abe has always sworn he was the last person to see Elle 
 Harlow alive\, but when a meteor strikes the woods of their sleepy Pennsyl
 vania town and a piece of Elle&rsquo\;s past emerges from the wreckage\, t
 he truth of her disappearance sets fire to everything Marijohn believes ab
 out herself\, her music\, and her ability to love with abandon.</p>\n<p><e
 m>Wait for Me</em> is an unapologetic\, deeply emotive story set in Appala
 chia and Nashville that defies the trope of the missing woman and gives us
  a female duo who can find hope in each other and sing the ache in every g
 ood song.</p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR</strong></p>\n<p>Amy Jo Burns i
