The Rose Bride: A Retelling of The White Bride and the Black Bride

The Rose Bride: A Retelling of The White Bride and the Black Bride is by Nancy Holder. A Once Upon a Time novel. Rose wonders about love, her father doesn't seem to love her and then her mother dies. Her father promptly remarries and Rose is stuck with a mean stepmother and greedy selfish step sister. Then her father dies - I know you are thinking Cinderella, but you would have the wrong fairy tale. This tale looks at the meaning of love and the sacrifice it involves. A wonderful tale.

Ratings: 8th grade - 9 out of 10.
