Champaign author, Ekta R. Garg, will be coming to the library to talk about her second and newest book, In the Heart of the Linden Wood.
Ever wonder what happens after “happily ever after?” In the Heart of the Linden Wood answers the question in this original fairy tale for grown-ups. Perfect for fans of classics like The Chronicles of Narnia, Bridge to Terabithia, and The Neverending Story, Garg’s In the Heart of the Linden Wood tells the story of a grieving king who has to save his kingdom from an imminent threat by going on a quest, rescuing some hostages, and mending another broken heart piece-by-piece, all while struggling with whether he’s worthy of his crown. Ekta will read from the book, answer questions about the novel and her writing process, and sign copies available for purchase.
