Madeleine Albright, the first female U.S. secretary of state, is appearing at the Annapolis Barnes & Noble to promote her new book.

Prague Winter: A Personal Story of Remembrance and War, 1937-1948 is a memoir of Albright's formative years in Czechoslovakia, where she shares personal experiences relating to Nazi occupation, World War II and more, according to the Barnes & Noble website.

Albright, who has also served as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, will be at the location on April 28 at 12:30 p.m. She will lead an informal talk where attendants are invited to ask questions, said Melanie Magness, a community relations manager for the Annapolis store, located at 2516 Solomon's Island Road.

Following the discussion, Albright will sign copies of her memoir. A receipt or proof of purchase must be presented with each copy.

Interested guests can just show up for the appearance, Magness said. But tickets may be issued for crowd control purposes.

"She'll stay as long as she needs to," Magness said.
