Belle is the youngest daughter of Melvin Beiler and the one who does most of the work around the house while Melvin works on his inventions. Little do Belle and her sisters know is that their father has frittered away his money on his newest invention and the mortgage is about to come due.
Adam Herschberger is a man scarred from a fire that killed his mother. Children look at him and run from him, calling him a beast. Townspeople look the other way when he comes into town, or they stare with undisguised disgust.
Adam has bought the Beiler farm and has put into motion the eviction of Belle and her family. He has paid a generous amount for the farm, but it won't take care of all the bills and give them enough to find another place to live. Belle approaches Adam to see how she can save the farm so her family won't be homeless. He is willing to allow her family to stay on the farm if she will marry him and give him a son to inherit her family's farm.
Melanie Dickerson has written several Young Adult books based on fairy tales and I have enjoyed all of them, but I love how Sarah Price has not only put this one together, and how she's planted the seed for the next ones in the series. Five Stars, Two Thumbs Up, and some homemade cheese from your very own dairy.
My thanks to Kensington Books for allowing me to read and review this book.
