Meet author Patricia Bracewell. Readers first met Emma of Normandy in Patricia Bracewell’s gripping debut novel, Shadow on the Crown. Unwillingly thrust into marriage to England’s King Ethelred, Emma has given the king a son and heir, but theirs has never been a happy marriage. In The Price of Blood, Bracewell returns to 1006 when a beleaguered Ethelred, still haunted by his brother’s ghost, governs with an iron fist and a royal policy that embraces murder.

R. Martin’s Game of Thrones series. Books available for sale and signing.

The town formed a vigilante group who kidnapped many of the children. The nuns filed suit to get the children back. The case went to the territorial Supreme Court and then to the United States Supreme Court. What happened? Come hear the story and find out! Presented by Gene Lariviere, a retired pediatrician who lives in New Hampshire and winters in Sun Lakes. He is a frequent program leader at New Adventures in Learning.
