"Once upon a Time" Is Timeless

When Rose's mother dies, her only comfort is the exquisite rose garden her

mother left behind. The purple blossoms serve as an assurance of her

mother's love. But Rose is dealt a second blow when her father dies and his

greedy widow, Ombrine, and her daughter, Desirée, move in and take over

the manor in true Cinderella fashion.

Fate has been cruel to Ombrine and Desirée, too. So despite their harsh

ways, Rose has compassion. But these feelings are bitterly tested when, in a

rage, Ombrine tears out the garden. Rose nearly gives up all hope — until a

chance meeting with the king. Happiness might be within her reach, but first

she must prevail over Ombrine. And then she must determine if she has the

courage to love.

Synopsis:

This retelling of the Grimm fairy tale puts a modern spin on all of the classic fairy tale elements--a wicked stepfamily, magic, and adventure--and serves as a reminder of the power of love when all seems lost. Original.

This is one of the best books I have read this year. It follws the hard and heartbreaking life of Rose Marchand. I think alot of people would not have survived what she goes through. Rose is a character who comes to life through Holder's wonderful talent. You will connect with Rose and never let go. Go listen to a purple rose! Love will heal everything.
