Please join me in welcoming New York author Kimberlee Auerbach to the Twin Cities at 7 p.m. Thursday, December 6, as she discusses her book "The Devil, the Lovers & Me: My Life in Tarot." We're honored that she's making a special trip here to see us, so let's roll out the red carpet!

Kimberlee's book is a one-of-a-kind memoir that demonstrates the true power of tarot to change people's lives. It's funny, enlightening, a little shocking ... but most of all, it's charming, like Kimberlee herself.

After her presentation, our Meetup group will keep the conversation going with a private reception for Kimberlee at the nearby Don Pablo's restaurant.

About the Book:

Kimberlee Auerbach has tried everything. She's been in therapy. She's seen a Reiki Master. She's even given hypnosis a try. Nobody can give her what she wants... to know her future is going to be bright, that everything will be okay. So she makes an appointment with Iris Goldblatt, "tarot card reader and mirror of the soul." Instead of predicting the future, each card sparks a memory: like the time Kimberlee tried to be wild, and caught crabs from an Argentine painter; or the night her father "proposed" at Morton's Steakhouse (presenting her with an engagement ring for her boyfriend to use); or the moment Kimberlee found the strength to kick out her freeloading ex. In a Wizard of Oz-like twist of fate, Kimberlee realizes she had the answers all along-that's it's not about looking to the future, it's about trusting yourself along the way.

Exuberantly alive and refreshingly candid, The Devil, The Lovers & Me, will take you on a journey down one woman's path, only to reflect yours back. You, too, will see yourself in the cards ... The Devil, The Lovers, even the Fool.
