Author’s website: davidhartshorn.com

This coming-of-age tale set in a small Vermont resort town during the summer of 1956 follows the path of Baker Murray,

a precocious young man whose personality was shaped by the comically opposing forces of his Jewish mother and Catholic father. A talented pianist and singer and avid tennis player, Baker navigates a minefield of often hysterical situations involving a German baroness, two gay antique dealers and a set of twin sisters, each of whom Baker pursues separately…with disastrous results.

�e story paints a vivid, Rockwellian picture of life in a small, post-war American town where conversations are deep and thought-provoking, people gather around a piano to hear standards like “Stardust” and lazy afternoons are spent swimming in cool quarry waters and hitting tennis balls at the local club. �e book invites readers of every generation to recall their own youthful adventures and relationships as they follow Baker on his summer journey to forge friendships, ponder the mysteries of life and escape from comic close-calls.

DAVID PEARSON is a native Miamian whose father was the first anesthesiologist in the city. David graduated from Emory University, spent time as a correspondent with UPI, and became Vice President of Public Relations for Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island. He is the author of a memoir about his unusual career in public relations entitled JFK and BOBBY, ARNIE and JACK...and David!

David lives with his wife Anne and Molly, their Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, in Coral Gables, Florida.
