Hi lovely readers,
I woke up to something rather wonderful: two beautiful five-star reviews for Awakened Beauty.
And what delighted me most was seeing readers respond to the heart of the story — a woman discovering that she doesn’t need to wait for somebody else to change before she begins living her own life.
★★★★★ FAST-PACED QUICK READ
“I loved this fast-paced quick read. I loved how Aurora became empowered within herself. You will be riveted to the pages from start to finish… This was such a stunning, captivating story.”
And another reader wrote:
★★★★★ SHORT, FEMINIST READ
“As a feminist, I think there is something genuinely valuable about stories that remind women that they are allowed to walk away. From other people’s expectations, from the roles we are supposed to fulfill, and especially from people who treat us badly and somehow still expect us to stay.”
I love that.
Because that is exactly the question at the heart of Awakened Beauty:
What if Sleeping Beauty was never waiting for the prince?
What if she was simply waiting to remember that she could wake herself?
Awakened Beauty is my modern reimagining of Sleeping Beauty for every woman who has ever waited for someone else to change before allowing herself to be happy.
As Aurora returns to an abandoned novel and rediscovers the astonishing pleasure of her own company, an ancient fairy tale begins rewriting itself inside her.
It is a story about boundaries, creativity, aging, love, freedom and the quiet revolution that begins when a woman stops asking permission to enjoy her own life.
Awake to desire.
Awake to truth.
Awake to creativity.
Awake to nature.
Awake to Spirit.
Awake to possibility.
Awake to the extraordinary beauty of being alive.
For anyone exhausted by the noise of other people’s expectations, Awakened Beauty offers a deliciously simple invitation:
Sleep through the noise.
Wake to your life.
And discover what Sleeping Beauty might have known all along.
She could wake herself.

And if you do read Awakened Beauty, I would absolutely love to hear what you think.
Perhaps the question Aurora discovers is one worth asking ourselves too:
What am I waiting for permission to enjoy?
