Book Review: The Healer's Apprentice

The Healer’s Apprentice by Melanie Dickerson

My favorite Disney movie is Sleeping Beauty.  And so, when I came across this book I was very excited.  In this novel, by Melanie Dickerson the classic story of Sleeping Beauty is retold through the life of a young woman named Rose.  She is the daughter of a woodcutter who is sent to apprentice under the local Healer.  When the perfect man comes along and she falls in love with him, because of a curse she is kept away from him.

This is a lovely story.  And if you know the story of Sleeping Beauty you can see the plot twists coming, but nonetheless it was still a good read.  A new take on an old classic.

This book would be appropriate for young adults and is and interesting
