~About the Book~
Belle
has returned unannounced to the castle to restore her relationship with the
king, her father. Her hopes are dashed with the devastating message: "The
king refuses to see you." Convinced that God has led her home, she is
unwilling to return to Lord and Lady Kiralyn.
Time
is running out for the decision that will change her life. When tragedy
strikes, will she and her father be pulled further apart or knit together?
Could she stay at the castle even if she will never see her father again?
~My Review~
5 stars
I'm not one for fairy-tale retellings, but this one was absolutely beautiful! No magic and no romance was just ... astounding. I would have told you it was impossible to have a fairy tale without at least one of those components. But this book did just that.
I adored the fact that the father, not the suitor, was the beast. It was just so unique and so not what I was expecting! And for a short story, you really got to know the characters quite well!
The faith message of the book came through crystal clear, but not preachy in the least, and the family relationships were so beautifully done! So far it's my favorite of Ms. Tero's books!

Amanda Tero is a
homeschool graduate who desires to provide God-honoring, family-friendly reading
material. She has enjoyed writing since before ten years old, but it has only
been since 2013 that she began seriously pursuing writing again – starting with
some short stories that she wrote for her sisters as a gift. Her mom encouraged
her to try selling the stories she published, and since then, she has begun
actively writing short stories, novellas, and novels. If something she has
written draws an individual into a deeper relationship
with Jesus Christ, it is worth it!

with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding.”
