description: The Journey To Belonging Can Take Some Ugly Turns, Will This One End In True Love?In this tale, Giselle inherited her father's unusually hairy condition and while she has his guidance and acceptance, she still finds it hard to believe that she is anything other than the ugly exception to her beautiful family. She is often left wondering if she will ever know what true love and belonging feel like.Remy has fought the world's view of him as a Jewish physician and is left feeling beaten down by the cruelty of life. When he accepts a menial assistant position in a rural town, the last thing he expects to find is love and acceptance. But, when the demons of his past still haunt him, he wonders if he will ever find the sense of family and home that he so desperately longs for. This Ugly Duckling and Cinderella gender swap mash-up reflects on what it means to find value in one's God-given identity as well as knowing the healing power of True Love. It is set in early 18th century France and faces the prejudices of the time as well as the ones that we so often place on ourselves.The Beast's Legacy is a trilogy of Christian Historical Fiction books inspired by the classic versions of these fairy tales. 'Loved by the Beast' can be read as a stand-alone, while 'Service and Slumber' and 'A Gentle Pursuit' will be better understood in order. They are all character driven, gentle reads with a guaranteed happily ever after.
