Book 2 / 72 pages Snow White adored her father with every ounce of her tiny six-year-old body. She couldn't understand why her stepmother was so grumpy. And then came the day when a delightful trip turned into a desperate race for her life. Now Snow White is a strong young woman, thanks to the attentive protection of seven stalwart warriors. The time for hiding is past. She owes it to her father's memory to return home and set things right. With the help of her new friend, Ella, she finally has her chance. * * * Snow White - A Retelling with Strength and Courage is Book 2 of a gently cliff-hangered short story series. The series honors the original intention of the Grimm Fairy Tales - to present women of strength and courage tackling challenges which seem insurmountable. With each new book a new heroine is interwoven into the story. The series sequence leads through five books up to a happily ever after ending. The series is clean romance and is suitable for teens and up. Readers have the option to read each tale one by one or to get the complete set which contains all five tales. As fairy tales are so integral to so many young lives, it was critical for me to do my very best to present each heroine in a way which honored her strength and showcased her ability to stand on her own. It took me over five years to craft this series. I feel strongly that no woman should ever sit around waiting for a man to "rescue" them. Women should not endure abusive behavior in the hopes that a man will change or magically become a prince. Be the change you wish to see in the world. I have a library of over 450 books running the gamut from medieval romance to cozy mystery, from mythology to fairy tale to Biblical retellings. I support battered women's shelters.
