Editorial Reviews

The main characters — who don’t compromise their distinctively Catholic moral principles, even when that choice presents hardship or risk — are likely to live in readers’ imaginations long after the last page is turned.

Kimberly Heatherington

A 200-page book should be a quick read...Some books, however, just have more to say. Without a word wasted, Doman has given sufficiently rich detail..that we can feel we are there. We see in our mind solitary Rose playing an ominous tune on her violin in the middle of the park with the same fervor as the wind. From the beginning, the girls imagine that the human exterior merely covers up for a magical interior, and we are then swept through a fast-paced story full of emotion and suspense.

This story is wonderfully told. The author draws you in and keeps you captivated from first page to last. Each chapter begins with a quote from the original fairy tale, and foreshadows what is coming, yet in New York the mysteries and magic of a fairy tale are very different from the German countryside. Regina Doman is a true storyteller, not just an author.
