Elizabeth Gilbert, author of NY Time Best Sellers Eat, Pray, Love: One Women's Search for Everything across Italy, India and Indonesia and Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace With Marriage, will be the Frederick Reads featured author for 2010. Eat, Pray, Love has been translated into 30-plus languages with more than 7-million copies sold world-wide.
