About the Book

Book title: The Secret Slipper
Author: Amanda Tero
Release date: May 25, 2017
Genre: YA Historical Fiction
Being a cripple is only the beginning of Lia’s troubles. It seems as if Bioti’s goal in life is to make Lia as miserable as possible. If Lia’s purpose is to be a slave, then why did God make her a cripple? How can He make something beautiful out of her deformity?
Raoul never questioned the death of his daughter until someone reports her whereabouts. If Ellia is still alive, how has she survived these ten years with her deformity? When Raoul doesn’t know who to trust, can he trust God to keep Ellia safe when evidence reveals Bioti’s dangerous character?
As time brings more hindrances, will Raoul find Ellia, or will she forever be lost to the father she doesn’t even know is searching for her?

MY THOUGHTS:

    This is a sweet read. I read it in one evening.  I love books that are a retelling of a fairy tale. Amy does a great job in doing so. I love Ellia and Raoul. Roles are changed on who is the prince to the rescue but is done in a very sweet way. The father is the knight in shining armor looking for his daughter. Is she alive? I was glad to see the mercy shown at the end towards the villains in this book. You will discover forgiveness, salvation, love, and a lesson of humility within the pages of this book.

Blessings,
Karen Hadley

About the Author

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!

Guest post from Amanda Tero

Do you ever have plans that come up from almost nowhere? That is kind of how “The Secret Slipper” started. I had written a fun novella, “Befriending the Beast.” It was a stand-alone. Just for fun. My relief project during a longer project. Well, no sooner had “Befriending the Beast” released when a friend asked me, “Hey, have you considered a father/daughter Cinderella story?” That night I stayed up until after midnight, mulling over ideas and coming up with the title. Lord Kiralyn, who appeared in “Befriending the Beast” as Belle’s uncle now had a story—involving a daughter that I didn’t know existed, but whose existence created a whirlwind of adventure, heartache, and excitement. And now that I have two books in the series, my brain is already pulling at ideas for a book three. But that’s another story for another day.

I’m Back

 Hello! I’ve been gone for a long while from my blog due to personal reasons that lasted longer that anticipated.  But I’m back and ready to get started! I’m hoping and praying to make some changes to my blog. There will be book reviews (I make mine short because I don’t like to read a long review).    Places that have free books and anything else I come across that you might want to know. I also what to incorporate Bible verses and short studies of Bible verses or words from the verses.  I also want to let you see the newest member of our family and her antics. A yorkie named Pocket!  Here’s looking to a fresh beginning ! Karen
