“Lore & Love in Appalachia” Authors in Conversation: Ari Philips & TJ West

Join us for an evening of conversation with Ari Philip and TJ West as they discuss Ari’s newest release, “Grow Old and Don’t Die” and how lore, love, and the culture of Appalachia make for rich storytelling. Book signing will follow the discussion and books by both authors will be available for purchase at the store before and after the event.

A gripping tale of generational conflict, corporate rapaciousness, and George Washington’s musings on modern American life.

For over 150 years, Rosa and her son Wyeth have blended into the shadows of Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, masking their immortality behind the cluttered shelves of a junk-filled thrift store. Their secret is the Eternal Spring—a life-giving fountain hidden within a mountainside cave—but their long lives have yielded more baggage than treasure. When Richie Scowl, the ruthless heir to a corporate energy empire, discovers their secret and moves to seize the spring, the family’s quiet existence is shattered. Forced out of hiding, they must confront the modern world and the ancient ghosts that have haunted them for over a century.
