Blue Bicycle Books Charleston Author Series Luncheon with award-winning writer Peter Zheutlin
Join us Friday, February 19th at noon for Blue Bicycle Books Charleston Author Series luncheon at Halls Chophouse, when author Peter Zheutlin talks about his NY Times Best Selling Book, "Rescue Road: One Man, Thirty Thousand Dogs and a Million Miles on the Lost Hope Highway."
Tickets are only $30 for the author talk and delicious three-course luncheon at Halls Chophouse, or $45 that includes the luncheon plus a signed copy "Rescue Road." Halls Chophouse is located at 434 King Street in downtown Charleston.
About the Book:
Rescue Road is story of one man who has driven more than 1 million miles to rescue thousands of dogs from hunger, abuse and neglect. For years, Greg Mahle struggled to keep the last of his family-run restaurants afloat in Ohio. When it finally closed, he was broke and unsure what to do next. Then a stranded van-load of puppies changed his life forever.
Author Peter Zheutlin travels with Mahle from Ohio to the Gulf Coast on his Rescue Road Trips to bring hard-luck dogs to loving families. From Houston's impoverished Fifth Ward, where thousands of strays roam the streets, and high-kill animal shelters in Louisiana, to joyous scenes of adopters embracing their new pets, Rescue Road is an inspiring story about the unique bond between dogs and humans.
