Engaging readers in lively discussions and shared experiences, Jonathan Speakman of Mindful Barbell in Fountain Hills recently held his first book club featuring Fountain Hills Author Michelle Hoffman.
Over the course of a few months, several of Speakman’s clients and friends read Hoffman’s debut novel, “The Second Ending,” a story that follows former child prodigy Prudence Childs, who, at forty-eight, enters a televised dueling piano competition to reclaim her artistic passion while contending with blackmail from her ex-husband. Simultaneously, her rival, young virtuoso Alexei Petrov, seeks to break free from his oppressive upbringing.
Together they discover that it’s never too late for second chances and new beginnings.
