Our next Author Talk welcomes Mary Dockray-Miller ’86! She’ll be discussing her latest book, Freyja’s Garden. It tells the story of the Danish princess Hildeburh, who must marry the King of Frisia to seal the peace between their warring tribes but also appease the goddess Freyja whose cult she’s already pledged herself to.
Mary majored in English at Vassar and taught at Lesley University for 25 years, and now blogs as The Massachusetts Medievalist.
