Author Honored: Tea and book signing held for Amy Ephron, who wrote book for middle-schoolers

Mary and Mark Freitas, along with Nancy and Bill Rollnick, hosted an afternoon tea in their home honoring author Amy Ephron.

The Feb. 11 event drew more than 75 guests, young and old.

In addition to tea, sandwiches, pastries and lots of lawn rough-and-tumble for the kids, the afternoon included a book signing by the author of her new book, The Castle in the Mist.

It is Ephron’s first novel for the middle-school grades.

The Freitases also arranged a special visit with Ephron at Rosarian Academy, where the author shared her novel and discussed the writing process with hundreds of students.

Proceeds from sales of the book benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm beach County.
