Book Launch Reception

Local author Rachel Wisdom has released her debut novel, A Shopkeeper's Daughter.  A historical romance, the novel tells the true story of Sonja Haraldsen, a young seamstress who met the Crown Prince of Norway at a party in 1959. The couple quickly fell in love, but Crown Prince Harald was expected to marry royal. Soon, the secret relationship found its way into the papers, and the Crown Prince’s romance with a shopkeeper’s daughter became the scandal of the century.


To mark the release, a book launch reception will be held at Westminster Christian Academy (800 Maryville Centre Drive in Town & Country) from 3:00-4:30pm on Saturday, March 22. The event is free and open to the public and will include a book signing and live music from violinist Thomas Winter.
