This tale of historical fiction for teens through adults centers on the Fab Four's tumultuous - and final - 1966 tour, and the firestorm of controversy in America that was touched off by John's Lennon's "We're more popular than Jesus" remarks. It is also a coming-of-age story that involves the struggles of its protagonist, 15-year-old Beatles fanatic Marnie Culpeper of Memphis, TN, who not only has to deal with having to choose between her beloved mop tops and their condemnation by her friends and church, but also her chance uncovering of an extremist group plot to harm the boys during their Memphis concert. Mr. Ferrante will sprinkle his presentation with archival videos and music, as well as the story of the book’s contribution from Julia Baird, the sister of John Lennon.
