Description
"Princesses Neve, Della, and Bry are sisters-in-law, having married into the royal Charming family, and for the last thirty-plus years, they've been living a coveted happily-ever-after life in the idyllic kingdom of Foreverness. But royal life isn't what it seems. Bry's people-pleasing is exhausting her, Della's exquisite and renowned beauty is fading with time, and Neve dreads the prospect of becoming queen one day, because power makes one a target, and she doesn't want to be killed...again. Then the king's sudden death thrusts each princess into a personal quest that shows her the truth behind the kingdom's "perfection" and challenges her sense of purpose. Della, emotionally abandoned by her resentful and unfaithful husband, discovers an unexpected entrepreneurial path to improve conditions for domestic workers, but encounters upper-class resistance. Bry witnesses social inequities for women in the kingdom, but if she raises her voice and compels others to do the same, it means taking a public stand against her own family. And Neve must confront her fear of power-and fear of the men who want her gone-when her suffering people beseech her to fight for them as their true queen. Will each of the royal women take her rightful place, build her new legend, and create her own new happily-ever-after, in midlife? And with all these drastic changes happening at once, will the kingdom of Foreverness survive it?"--,Provided by publisher.
