Updated 9:45 p.m.: The event will be Wednesday, March 23, not Tuesday, March 22 as previously reported.

Author Judy Ferro will be reading from her novel Desiderata Wednesday (March 23, 2011), 4 p.m. – 5:30 p.m., at Cafe Bonjour (7119 Woodlawn Ave NE). Everyone is welcome to the free event.

“A king’s ambitions thwart Desiderata’s dream of being duchess of her Bavarian homeland,” reads a description of the book on Amazon. “Instead, as a hostage in the Frankish Court, she lives her childhood nightmare – frightened and ignored. She is forced into betrothal with the hateful Young Pepin–the son King Karolus has chosen to rule Bavaria-while she loves another. How does a young girl fight the most powerful man in Europe? First, she must learn to survive and to know herself.”
