About the Book 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
"The Secret Slipper" follows "Befriending the Beast" (Raoul going to see his brother the king takes place shortly before the end of the first book). I loved this retelling. At first I was thinking that it was going to be a Rapunzel retelling, but then realized it was a different twist on Cinderella and her step mother and step sisters. This was a very quick read, but it didn't feel short. A lot of story is packed into the book. I found it interesting that the prince of the story was the father and not a love interest. I loved the faith element in the book and that the Gospel message was clearly given. I look forward to reading more from Amanda Tero.
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!
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding." (Proverbs 3:5)
