ADULATION by TIANA WILKENS

This is a modern day Cinderella story.  Cassie's mother dies giving birth to her and for 12 years she is the apple of her dad's eye, they are best friends and do all kinds of fun things together.  Then dad remarries, enter the absolutely evil step-mother with two daughters of her own.  Two years later Dad dies suddenly from pneumonia and Cassie is left alone with these people, and virtually becomes their slave and must take their abuse until she meets her prince who can take her away from it all.

That is just a brief synopsis of this wonderful book.  I don't want to ruin the story for you, but let me say there were many points when I wanted to crawl into this book and have more than a few words with the stepmother. 

This is a first novel for this author that was self published.  There are a few grammatical things or typos that would have been caught by an editor, but Tiana Wilkens has the gift of being a storyteller so they are very easy to overlook. I finished this book last night and couldn't wait to share it with you.  I hope she will continue to share her stories with us, I look forward to reading what ever she writes.
