"Wholly original and captivating." - Brigid Kemmerer, New York Times bestselling author of A Curse So Dark and Lonely Girls team up to overthrow the kingdom in this unique and powerful retelling of Cinderella from a stunning new voice that's perfect for fans of Dhonielle Clayton and Melissa Albert. It's 200 years after Cinderella found her prince, but the fairy tale is over. Teen girls are now required to appear at the Annual Ball, where the men of the kingdom select wives based on a girl's display of finery. If a suitable match is not found, the girls not chosen are never heard from again. Sixteen-year-old Sophia would much rather marry Erin, her childhood best friend, than parade in front of suitors. At the ball, Sophia makes the desperate decision to flee, and finds herself hiding in Cinderella's mausoleum. There, she meets Constance, the last known descendant of Cinderella and her step sisters. Together they vow to bring down the king once and for all--and in the process, they learn that there's more to Cinderella's story than they ever knew . . . This fresh take on a classic story will make readers question the tales they've been told, and root for girls to break down the constructs of the world around them.

I am The Purple Cinderella. I got my glass slipper back at the beautiful age of 38. What led me to that moment was a life full of heartache and pain. I found myself at the point of suicide. In that pivotal moment I got my glass slipper back (my life). I walked around dead inside for many years. My heart-wrenching childhood took me there. I was raped by my adult step brothers, some of my step uncles, some of my adult step cousins and other men. They all stole a part of Cinderella's glass slipper. I became used to this childhood torture, I accepted the torture, I even fell in love with the torture. Not only was I made to lie on my back and service the pedophiles, my sister and I were slave labor for my step family as well - forced to scrub and clean like Cinderella. Heartache and pain continued through my adulthood, bandages, crying inside. But at that pivotal moment of 38 GOD gave me life. Now I live.I got my glass slipper back!

A leading psychologist looks at the pitfalls women face when, like the fairytale Cinderella, they focus on pleasing others and conforming to stereotypes instead of expressing their individuality. In this thought-provoking volume, clinical psychologist Vera Maass examines the negative side of the glory of Cinderella's promise: that women buying into the myth's demand for conformity risk losing their individuality and sacrificing their personal goals. Think the tale is too old or too innocent to be relevant? See television's "The Bachelor." Based on Maass' extensive psychotherapy work and interviews, The Cinderella Test: Would You Really Want the Shoe to Fit? provides answers and strategies to issues raised by clients in therapy and women in the community at large—women of all ages and backgrounds. Maass also integrates stories of women throughout history who broke through limits placed upon them by sociocultural expectations and achieved richer, more fulfilled lives. An eye-opening look at the choices and challenges faced by women today, The Cinderella Test shows the dangers of trying to make the foot fit the slipper, and why and how Cinderella herself should be doing the testing.

Every royal has their dirty little secret. His was... me. It should have been simple. Go to the ball, meet the prince, and secure his patronage for my favorite charity. But beneath the mask, the brooding beast of a man was not at all who I expected. He was dark and intense and eerily quiet. When I left, I could still feel the ghost of his touch branded into my skin. He haunted my dreams, but I never expected to see him again. Then he came for me. And he took me. And I learned that his darkness was a void I never could have conceived. He's the crown prince. And, now, I'm his captive. This is a full length standalone with dark themes.

Sweeping the ashes out of the fireplace at my first job as a cleaning lady, I was overwhelmed. My husband of 23 years had left me for another woman, and I was thrust into the role of a struggling single mom. At that time my mother died of cancer, my house went into foreclosure, my car was repossessed, and I was forced into unexpected bankruptcy. In frustration, I lifted my hands up to the Lord and cried out, "God, I feel like Cinderella!" He answered me right away. He said, "You are Cinderella, and I will redeem you!" I had already experienced the supernatural power of prayer, healings and miracles. I was visited by an angel and prayed for a man that was raised from the dead. So when I heard God answer me in those ashes, I knew I had to trust him like never before. LuAnne's life testimony proves that God can take a life that has a dysfunctional childhood, an abusive marriage, and a seemingly helpless situation, and transform it into a life of joyful fulfillment. Dr. Bill Hamon The stories of God's intervention and his power, the working of the gifts of the Spirit and the miraculous divine appointments are encouraging and amazing. Randy Clark I cried as I read between the lines of my friend's life, but I rejoiced as I saw how faithful God is. You will be encouraged as you read this book of LuAnne's childlike faith and God's supernatural power. Dr Sharon Stone This book will teach you the power of forgiveness.
