Description

“As powerful as anything I’ve read in a long, long time.” Tim O’Brien, New York Times bestselling author of The Things They Carried

Alice Hoffman, the bestselling author of such beloved novels as Practical Magic and Seventh Heaven, has written a powerful story of love that shows why she has been called a "born storyteller" (Entertainment Weekly).

When Teresa was a little girl, she dreamed of dark-eyed, fearless heroes on white horses who would sweep her away. But now, as the grown-up Teresa negotiates life and love, she begins to understand that fairy tales don't always come true.
