Such a good story. This is a story about a shy high school girl who has a kind of a tough life. She lost her father early, and has a very complicated relationship with her mother. The only hope she finds is in Roland, a knight in shining armor who saves her from an evil villainous witch in the woods. This tale is a classic story of modern day meets fantasy, and is a really good read. Doesn’t disappoint. Five stars.

good story
I love the idea of the story. A girl who is extremely mistreated, who becomes a target of Satan, but who manages to overcome describes her story and experience as an allegory.
The story includes they failed rape attempt. However, the story is clean enough for most ages.
I listen to the entire story in one setting.
