Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Snow White, Rose Red

In a tiny Welsh estate, a duke and duchess lived happily, lacking only a child — or, more importantly, a son and heir to the estate. Childbirth ultimately proved fatal for the young duchess. After she died, the duke was dismayed to discover that he was not only a widower, but also father to a tiny baby girl. He vowed to begin afresh with a new wife, abandoning his daughter in search of elusive contentment.

Independent — virtually ignored — and finding only little animals and a lonely servant boy as her companions, Jessica is pale, lonely and headstrong...and quick to learn that she has an enemy in her stepmother. "Snow," as she comes to be known, flees the estate to London and finds herself embraced by a band of urban outcasts. But her stepmother isn't finished with her, and if Jessica doesn't take control of her destiny, the wicked witch will certainly harness her youth — and threaten her very life....

Synopsis:

"ONCE UPON A TIME"

IS TIMELESS

The Duchess Jessica's childhood began with a tragedy: her mother's death. Her father, heartbroken at the loss of his beloved wife, could not bear to raise the child. Largely ignored, Jessica spent the first eleven years of her life running free on the family estate, cared for only by the servants.

Then her father decides to remarry, bringing an end to Jessica's independence. At first her new stepmother just seems overly strict. But as Jessica grows into a beautiful young woman, it becomes clear that her stepmother is also wildly — and murderously — jealous of her.

Jessica escapes to London. Going by the name Snow to hide from her family, she falls in love with an odd band of outcasts who accept her into their makeshift family. But when her stepmother appears in the city, repentant and seeking her forgiveness, Jessica will have to decide whom to trust...with her life.

Synopsis:

But her stepmother isn't finished with her, and the wicked witch threatens her very life. Original.

"Snow" is the most imaginative re-telling of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs that I have ever come across--so imaginative and vibrant that it can easily stand powerfully alone in its own right; there's no yawning predictability in this tale! Each character captivates the reading audience with a haunting magnetism that keeps its hold long after the last word has been read.

This might just be one of the best books in the once upon a time series! It is a wonderful and completely new way to tell the tale of Snow White. I acually like this book better than the disney movies about Snow White. It is full of adventures, evil stepmothers, and romance. A wonderful read for anyone, at any age!
