Join us for a virtual tea on Saturday, May 15, 2021 at 1:00 pm.
The reviews are in for Edith: The Rogue Rockefeller McCormick, by Andrea Friederici Ross. All agree it is fascinating! Be treated to a unique experience as Edith, portrayed by Ellie Carlson of Ellie Presents, herself walks off the page and onto your Zoom screen, and the author enlightens you about the odyssey of Edith’s life. Get ready for questions about King Tut’s child bride, James Joyce, Brookfield Zoo and wealth unimaginable. This is a video presentation followed by live Q&A; an opportunity to meet the author and the subject of her work at the same time. Reading the book ahead of time is not required, but is strongly encouraged.
You can purchase the book through Amazon here.
Ellie says, “Andrea is wonderful at explaining her process…You will learn so much!
I love playing Edith, she was a singular person and the opportunity to bring her to life is empowering. She is so profoundly unlike all my other ladies that I marvel at how she could have been real, but she was!”
