A renowned translator of Tang dynasty poetry, Hayley walked away from her career and her addict husband to raise Frith alone in a land populated not by ambition-fueled academics but by hawks, beavers, and other wild things—including their exuberant Bernese Mountain dog, Bear. They get by on what little they earn from their overgrown apple orchard and the syrup they make from their maple trees. Frith— precocious, homeschooled, and a voracious reader—considers herself queen of this backwoods paradise. She is too young to understand the pain and regret that have followed her mother here.Season after season, it is the three of them—mother, daughter, and dog—until the spring day when Rose Lattimore appears at their door and upends Hayley and Frith’s solitary existence. When tragedy unexpectedly strikes, Frith must come to terms with heartbreak for the very first time. By turns joyful and searing, The Orchard reminds us that, even during the hardest of times, the enduring power of nature, love, and friendship will prevail.Agenda?: 06:00 PM - 06:45 PMBook Discussion?: 07:00 PM - 08:30 PMAuthor Talk and Signing - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/castle-rock/book-club-with-peter-heller/100001975138036035 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, dog, workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 2 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Castle Rock - **state**: CO - **country**: United States - **location**: Sudden Fiction Books - **lat**: 39.3719585 - **long**: -104.8589857 - **full address**: Sudden Fiction Books, 221 Perry Street, Castle Rock, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Book Club With Peter Heller - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/d0b4b4dfac5aa0351d3831c1f004ae99d41a043bcf55de397a14c98e28b3aaed-rimg-w1200-h600-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1763784161 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Book Club With Peter Heller being held? - **A:** Book Club With Peter Heller takes place on Mon, 12 Jan, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Mon, 12 Jan, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Sudden Fiction Books, 221 Perry Street, Castle Rock, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Book Club With Peter Heller? - **A:** Book Club With Peter Heller is organized by Sudden Fiction Books. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
