- Boo Walker spent his College of Charleston years and a few after in Nashville as a banjoist and songwriter for the avant-garde punchgrass band, The Biscuit Boys. Some hand problems knocked him out of the game, and he stumbled into a position with a short term equity trading firm based out of Charleston, South Carolina. To feed his ravenous muse, he began writing his first novel, Lowcountry Punch. Around that time, what started as a passion in wine became a neurosis.
After six years of the Wall Street thing, Boo decided it was time to end his sedentary, computer-driven lifestyle. He grew out a handlebar mustache and moved clear across the country into a double-wide trailer situated on 5 acres of Malbec vines just down the road from Hedges Family Estate on Red Mountain in Washington State. The Hedges family took him in and taught him the art of farming and the old world philosophies of wine. He now lives with his amazing wife and son on a gentleman’s farm by the Yakima River on Red Mountain.

A bit over the top with all the characters each having their own problems. Cared about the characters but book a bit cheesy.Goodreads: How well do we really know each other?Red Mountain in eastern Washington is home to a community of eccentrics. Otis Till, the area's visionary winemaker, has been known to howl at the moon--fully nude. Single mother Margot Pierce moved across the country to build an inn, but so far all she does is binge on gelato, the Hallmark Channel, and fantasies of murdering her ex. High school senior Emilia Forester is the daughter of celebrity parents struggling to build her own life outside of their shadow. And Brooks Baker is a man haunted by his past spent living on the streets as an orphan. Somehow, everyone lives together harmoniously, their lives intertwined like the vines in Red Mountain's beautiful and renowned vineyards.But in a place where everyone knows each other, secrets are like poison...and right now Otis, Margot, Emilia, and Brooks all have something to hide. When their secrets come to light, will their small mountain be stronger for it--or will lives be torn apart?Heartfelt and wonderfully descriptive, Red Mountain is the story of four complicated people living in a beautiful landscape unlike anywhere else. Told from multiple perspectives and rich with vivid descriptions of wine life, this novel will transport you from the first page to the last.… (altro)
Wonderful!
The prologue of The Singing Trees by Boo Walker starts in present day 2019. Then it goes back to 1969 and chronologically tells the story of Annalisa Mancuso, a passionate and talented artist trying to find her voice during a very unsettling period in U.S. history and a challenging period of her life. I liked that this story only had the present day story at the beginning and the end.
I was brought to tears more than once while reading. I grew to care about Annalisa and Thomas, her nonna and Walt. What lovely characters they were.
This book is about people loving people in every form, from romantic love to familial love. This was my first Boo Walker novel; won't be my last.… (altro)
