Petrie, Kym An Enchanted Truth: A Modern Day Fairy Tale for
Grown-Up Girls, 40 p. Greenleaf
Book Group Press, 2012. $15.
One day the Princess has her heart
stomped on by the Prince and she disdains her Fairy Godmother’s advice and for
a bit continues to date the same disastrous Princes. After a few weeks and then a few months, Godmother’s advice
starts to make sense and while she strives to find a man worthy of her, she
finds contentment in being her own best person first.
If you were to give this book to a teenager, most of them
would have no clue what you were trying to tell them and find this a didactic,
silly tale. Your 20-something
girlfriends who are building lives of their own will find it spot on, however
and totally agree with the message.
I haven’t seen the finished product, but I think this is a small, book,
text only. I totally agree with
the message, I just don’t think 90% of high school girls will get it.
