A Gracious Hope - Hope Ever After, #14 - E-book - ePub

Can one find hope when everything familiar has been stripped away? On the eve of her 19th birthday, Alora learns she's not a peasant girl, the people who raised her aren't even related to her, and she can't marry the boy from the village who promised to return for her. She's a princess, betrothed to a neighboring royal - and cursed since birth. But Alora adored her simple life and flees from the new found expectations.
When the curse is enacted anyway, she must fight her way through a strange new land. If she doesn't defeat the one who cursed her, she'll be trapped in a dream forever. A Gracious Hope, a retelling of Sleeping Beauty and The Wizard of Oz, is a standalone novella, complete with such tropes as "protective hero, " "he falls first, " and "no damsels here." It is part of the "Hope Ever After" series, a collection of twenty hopeful and uplifting fairy tale retellings.
Each book is written by a different author so it can be enjoyed in any order. The proceeds from this series are donated to the O. U. R. (Operation Underground Railroad) to rescue children from exploitation and trafficking.
