Over a year ago, King Charming died and left Queen Snow White alone. As the date of their only child’s wedding approaches, Snow White drops further into despair. Wanting to have some alone time, she goes up into one of the castle towers and finds her wicked stepmother’s old magic mirror. Falling into its mesmerizing depths, Snow White sees her life in a different light and must reconcile her perception of herself with her true self. Yet will this drive her further into depression or will she find the joy she thought died with Charming?THE REFLECTIONS OF QUEEN SNOW WHITE is story of what happened after the original Snow White tale (and not the Disney version, so this is not for kids). The tone and style of writing truly evoked each scene from Snow White’s past. The mirror served a passage to the truth behind Snow White’s distorted memories. While the secondary characters are a bit two-dimensional, I was okay with that because this was a story about Snow White and her journey toward healing from grief. THE REFLECTIONS OF SNOW WHITE was hauntingly beautiful. I think it will appeal to many readers and be a good story to read for those who have suffered a loss.
