The Snow Queen's Daughter,
My Life with Asperger’s
A Tale from the Lost Generation

by Charli Devnet

Thursday, March 24 at 7pm


Author Charli Devnet will be here to discuss her memoir, The Snow Queen’s Daughter, My Life with Asperger’s. Although Asperger’s Syndrome was first recognized as a medical condition in 1944, few people in the 1960’s, when Charli Devnet was growing up, had ever heard of it. Children who seemed odd, even if highly intelligent, simply fell through the cracks. No one understood that they needed help and so no help was provided. Devnet has written a courageous book that will help us recognize and empathize with people who have this condition.

Copies of her book will be available for purchase and signing.
