Purchase options and add-ons

For every woman who has ever dreamed of finding a Prince Charming and living happily ever after, only to have her cherished fairy tale shattered by the painful day-to-day reality of being hurt by the one she loves....

And for her mother, daughter, sister, or friend who wants to help—and needs to understand what she thinks, how she feels, why she stays, and why it's so hard for her to let go, even after she leaves.

The Princess Who Believed in Fairy Tales is an enchanting and inspiring modern-day story set in olden times that symbolizes the journey we all take through life as we sort out illusion from reality, come to terms with our childhood dreams and pain, and discover who we really are and how life works. Raised by a king and queen who are as strict and unaccepting as they are loving, the sweet, gentle Princess Victoria grows up dreaming of being rescued by a Prince Charming, as in her beloved fairy tales. When she is rescued all seems right with the world—until the prince turns out to be less than charming. On the advice of a delightful, singing, banjo-playing owl, the princess embarks on a challenging journey of self-discovery on the Path of Truth. Along the way, she nearly drowns in the Sea of Emotion, passes through the bewildering Land of Illusion,learns how to recognize truth at the Campsite for Lost Travelers, and enters the eye-opening Land of Is in search of the Temple of Truth and the Sacred Scroll. Finally, with the help of the owl and other unique, insightful friends, she discovers that fairy tales really can come true—although not in the way she thought. For all those who have struggled with childhood pain, with feelings of not being good enough, or who have given up their power to a hurtful prince, The Princess Who Believed in Fairy Tales proves that happy endings—and new beginnings—are always possible.

This is a beautiful picture of me and my struggles. Well I'm not a princess really, but I should be, oh you'll understand if you read it. It might be your story too. Sweet and honest disguised as a fairytale. It took me a while to read only because it's truths were painful to digest, but enlightening once accepted. I recommend this book for anyone who needs a new perspective on themselves and life. Lovely experience.

Such a great read for anyone struggling with the “why” of a breakup that you gave everything to. I didn’t realize how much damage had been done until reading this. And it truly outlined the work needed to begin the healing process. Highly recommend

5.0 out of 5 stars A Parable for Those in Emotionally Abusive Relationships
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2013
Verified Purchase
This parable is well written and may help those in an emotionally abusive relationship realize the situation they are in. Emotional abuse is not so easily recognized by others and those suffering from it often don't realize what's happening to them and instead feel as if they are the one going crazy. This story illuminates one possiblity of how such things happen and offers hope. Anyone finding themselves in such a situation should seek the help and support of friends and possibly a therapist. This book is a good first step.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye opener
Reviewed in Canada on October 22, 2017
Verified Purchase
Thank you Mme Grad. I read your book in French as I found it recommended by my therapist on her web site. The story related to my own life in every single way and I recognized my own mother in the Queen and my husband in the Prince. But only after having finished the book I realized that I was also a bit of the Queen in the life of my own, now 25 year old daughter. I ordered a copy for her in English via Amazon and had it shipped to her in Canada where she lives. I called her and told to read it very carefully. That she would understand the real meaning of love, to use that knowledge in her future relationships, and to hopefully understand and forgive me for wanting to now to divorce her father who she adores.
