The Real-Life Princess
The Real-Life Princess is a full color children's book published by Awen House Publishing in 2010. The following is taken from the back cover:

Join Zoë as she is captivated by the story of the peasant, Michaela. In this tale of poverty and pageantry, Michaela discovers she was never made to be the poor, dirty servant she’d always thought she was. As the King sees the “yes” in her heart, she finds herself brought into the life she’s always dreamed of. In this new life Michaela finds healing for her heart through the truth of who she was always meant to be. The Real-Life Princess is a powerful tale about the beauty and identity every girl’s heart can find only when she encounters the One True King.

Praise for The Real Life Princess: *     "The Real-Life Princess opens a doorway to a young girl's heart. Written to capture and not to sermonize, it conveys important truths in vivid story form. Children of all ages will be drawn into the story of Zoë, a happy princess, who met a real king in a beautiful palace. The Real-Life Princess encourages children to discover that they, too, are princes and princesses."-Floyd McClung-All Nations, Cape Town, South Africa. www.floydandsally.com *     "I can see a Mom and daughter curled up on the bed at bedtime reading this story together. A little girl needs to know she is a princess but also must know that there will be an assault against her realization of that fact. This tale is one girls can relate to, opening the door for Mom to tell her own stories along those lines. Good job Rebecca!" - Terri Sullivant Co-Founder Radius www.groups.google.com/group/friends-of-radius *     "In The Real-Life Princess, Rebecca Dunning tells a captivating story that equally touches the heart of a five-year old girl and a ninety-five year old grandma. This timeless message is simply profound and biblically sound, one that readers of all ages will want to enjoy again and again." -Lorraine Pintus, conference speaker and co-author of Intimate Issues. *     "The Real-Life Princess is a beautiful, imaginative story that will enchant and engage I am sure. It stands in a timeless tradition of beguilingly simple parables that may be read at many levels and by any age group. I commend it warmly.- Pete Greig, author and speaker. www.24-7prayer.com    *      "Every reading of this gem of a book brings fresh revelation into my own identity as well as that of my daughter. We take it like a tonic daily against the world's onslaught of 'not good enough' being peddled door-to-door. As a mother, it is refreshing to find a work of art that my kids can walk away from with their vision elevated and their self-image illuminated by the King." -Christi Bovee- Co-Founder, Greenhouse Arts Woodland Park, and singer/songwriter. www.greenhousearts.com   *      "Calling all moms and teachers to read this story as early and as often as possible so the truth will settle in the hearts of our daughters before the world has a chance to rob them of this profound truth. Rebecca has a beautiful way of sharing from a mother's heart the bedtime story every daughter longs to hear." -Laura Carlson- Kindergarten teacher and speakerRebeccadunning (talk) 02:31, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
