What a powerful, emotional, informative, and interesting read. I was challenged to look at fairy tales and the stories that we tell ourselves in a new light. This book is part memoir in a way, which I was not expecting, but added so much. The style of writing is also fantastic and reads whimsical, almost like a fairy tale itself.
