The Girl of Many Crowns

by D.H. Morris

Genre: Historical Fiction

“The Girl of Many Crowns” is the true and inspiring story of Judith, the first princess of France, who is a pawn in a complex political game of chess as her father, King Charles, tries to hold on to his kingdom. King Charles, grandson of Emperor Charlemagne, is beset on every side by Vikings, rebel lords, and greedy neighboring monarchs. He marries 12-year-old Judith to Aethelwulf, the aging King of Wessex, for political advantage. When she is widowed less than two years later, he arranges a second marriage for her. But, when Judith refuses to marry a third time at her father’s command, King Charles imprisons her in one of his palaces.

Baldwin Iron Arm is a powerful knight from Flanders who pledges loyalty to King Charles and his family. As the companion of Judith’s brother, Louis, he fulfills his oath by protecting King Charles’ family from Vikings, rebel lords, wars, and assassination plots. He is conflicted when he must choose between obeying the king and rescuing his daughter Judith from her imprisonment.

Through a humorous lens, I took a dramatic journey of survival through three life threatening cancers (pancreatic, t-cell lymphoma, and leukemia), and their treatments (chemo, radiation, and bone marrow transplant), plus sepsis and other conditions from age 56 to my present age of 80. Everlasting Rose provides you with hope and disease prevention tools and techniques to overcome the odds. With all these conditions it was determined that I had a 1 in 1,000 chance of survival. My mission is to help you with your journey.

About the Author

In the beginning I was a Catholic Italian girl, growing up in a sheltered Italian community and in the end, I had traveled extensively in the United States and Europe.  My education as a nurse with a Bachelor’s and Masters afforded me opportunities to experience many aspects of health care: teaching, administration, sales, and consulting. However, at age 56 I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and my long tortuous journey through disease after disease began. During these years I endured much pain, suffering and anxiety. However, I always stayed positive, even joyful and hopeful for the next day. I am now 80 and would like to share my unbelievable survival story with you.
