5.0 out of 5 stars Frighteningly realistic, April 2 2000

By	Andrea Egger, author of Grave Accusations (Gallup, NM USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sleeping Beauty (Mass Market Paperback)

A survivor of child sexual abuse, Anne Garnett leaves home far behind at a young age and becomes a high-powered, beautiful -- yet romantically untouchable lawyer. Until love enters the ice princess's life, and her beloved grandfather dies. She finds she must go home and face faces of relatives she'd rather forget in her painful memories of incest. Anne's character is so real, as are the characters readers meet from her past and in the present. This is an example of a romance novel that dips into one of life's true horrors -- incest -- and doesn't romanticize it or try to make it any less pretty than it is.

3.0 out of 5 stars Characters draw you in and hold you., Jun 2 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sleeping Beauty (Mass Market Paperback)

Sleeping Beauty will be an alarming tale for those who have experienced the injustices faced by Anne and for those who fight to protect children. After forcing myself to go on, I was drawn into the story. Anger, sadness and excitment were only a few of the emotion I felt. I could not put it down. I feel relieved when the victim conquers his or her fears and Anne was allowed to do that?

However, I was disappointed that "good ole Uncle Vince" received to what amount to a on slap on the hand for his transgressions and slimmy Keith no doubt continues his escapades in Washington. Does Vince really have the guts to "get rid of him"? What happened to Dora? Wouldn't she be outraged about Josh & Anne, and go after Anne with a vengence? Shoudln't Rita apologize? I think this book calls for a sequel. It would be worth purchasing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Brave Herione, May 7 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sleeping Beauty (Mass Market Paperback)

This is truly my favorite novel. Much of my admiration for this novel is centered around the herione of the novel, Anne. A lonely motherless child that was sexually abused by her uncle becomes a smart but empty woman. We might not agree with all the choices she has made but we can't blame her either considering all that has happened to her. We eagerly await how her family will react to having her appear after 25 she ran away from home. And we are disappointed that they still deny her accusation. A truly inspiring novel for those who have been beaten yet survives nonetheless. I highly recommend this book.
