Writer Ilze Berzins is set to release her latest book titled A True Love Story on Nov. 1. The book is an autobiographical account of Berzins’ life.

According to a press release from Berzins: “Journey with her from Latvia to Germany to Canada to Paris and back, and finally – after romantic mishaps, outrageous escapades, and tragic loss – to Maine where she finally finds her true home with her true love.
