Fairy tales do not always end happily. Cinderella Series - The Evil Stepmother
Did you ever wonder why Cinderella’s Evil Stepmother was so vile? So mean?
Fourteen years after Prince Charming and Cinderella are crowned as Chalmers King and Queen, Cinderella, Pricilla and Esmeralda gather at their mother’s deathbed.
Lady Hildegard Roche has nothing but resentment and scorn for the stepchild who culminates all that was stolen from her. Stunned silent, the sisters learn how tragedy shaped their mother into the woman she became. The question is: Can the sisters forgive her? AMAZON I gave it 4 Stars on Amazon.
I have read the stories of the Princesses: Cinderella, Pricilla and Esmeralda. I never dreamed that there would be a story about their mom and step mama (the evil one). Didn't see that one coming and when it did, I wanted to read it! Wow. What a story. How much abuse and loss can one woman stand? It really tugged at the emotions. Twists and turns kept happening, none of them working in a good way for Hilda. More than once she wished for death. Betrayal every where she turned; it caused her to harden her heart; and become the unpleasant woman that she became. She didn't start out that way, but her father was the first one to treat her harshly and cruelly without any mercy. Yes, I did cry a few tears over this story. I guess you could call it a Dark Fairytale. One that caused Cinderella, Priclla and Esmeralda to come to an understanding of their own pain that she caused them. With understanding and compassion came some peace.
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
