"Once upon a time..." - Grimm
This third book from the series The Fairy Tale Novels, is a gripping and imaginative retelling of The Sleeping Beauty, by Brothers Grimm. "I love him more than poetry... I love him more than song." Ever since he rescued her from Certain Death, Rose has had a crush on Ben, A.K.A. Fish. But Fish, struggling with problems of his own, thinks Rose should go looking elsewhere for romance. Rose leaves for college where she takes up with a "sword-wielding" band of brothers (the COR boys at her college), and starts an investigation into her family's past that proves increasingly mysterious. When a tragic accident occurs Fish finds himself drawn into Rose's new college life and searching through a tangle of revenge and corruption that threatens Rose's very life. The climax is a crucible of fear, fight, and fire that Fish must pass through to reach Rose and conquer his dragons.

What readers are saying:
"I just wanted to thank you for Waking Rose. What a fantastic story! My older sister and I identify quite a lot with Blanche and Rose, so reading the rest of Rose's story was exciting for me, especially because, like Rose, I left home this fall for my first semester of college… Your books are filling a great need for high-quality, exciting, and un-ashamedly Catholic teen novels!"-In Christ, Mary
"Oh my gosh!!!!! I just finished Waking Rose and I loved every minute of it! I read it in less then 24 hours! I loved the theme about waiting for true love, and I can totally relate to Rose! I think that's what I like the most about the books, how realistic the characters are… Every person in it reminded me of someone I know in real life. And I also love the way both Rose and Fish change spiritually during the book, and of course, I love the pro-life view (that) weaves itself into this colorful story. Bravo!"-Emma
