Judith's Journey: The Forbidden Love of a Princess and Her Protector with Author DH Morris

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is DH Morris, author of the book The Girl of Many Crowns. D.H. Morris is a native of San Diego, California. She has lived on four continents and traveled through many countries. She has four children, eleven grandchildren, and 1 fur baby. She currently lives in Kansas City, Missouri. D.H. Morris graduated from Utah State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre and Choral Music education and pursued graduate work in English at USU and law at the University of Utah. She is also a published playwright.

 

As a descendant of Judith and Baldwin, the author discovered their intriguing story while doing a genealogical project. This journey inspired her to research everything about the 9th Century – including food, politics, travel, war, education, clothing, jewelry, religion, holidays, marriage customs, and medicine. She loves this remarkable time in history when the European countries we know today were being formed and fighting for their very existence. She is currently working on a prequel to The Girl of Many Crowns.

 

In my book review, I stated The Girl of Many Crowns an amazing historical fiction based on the French princess Judith and Baldwin Iron Arm. This novel is set in the 800s in France, which is not typically a time period I enjoy. However, I loved this book because DH brought these characters to life and didn't get me mired in the nitty gritty of ancient French political history. Don't get me wrong, I learned a lot about the political intrigues of the time, but always as a way of seeing Judith and her plight.

 

During women's history month, I was happy to read this book and see that even seventeen hundred years ago, women understood that they were being used as pawns and found a way to rebel against their oppressors. Judith, though young, was strong, courageous, independent, and brave. I believe this story should become an animated film that we can show to our daughters and granddaughters to show them what strength in the face of adversity looks like.

 

I raged, cheered, laughed, and cried - it's a must-read.

 

Here is a wonderful trailer that's a must-see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXw5RSy5WAg
