A touching and uplifting fairy tale about a queen who realizes that she must fight her own dragons. Realizing that nobody else can see the beasts who have haunted her since childhood, she embarks on a quest that takes her far from her family and castle to conquer them herself. A story of courage and recovery that touches on mental illness, trauma, addiction and co-dependence and explains the process of a 12-step recovery in terms that children can understand. The author--herself an alcoholic who has suffered childhood trauma--wrote the story initially for the sake of explaining these challenges to her own children. She now hopes that other children will benefit from the story by fostering a family dialogue about recovery, addiction and the pursuit of stronger mental health. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to an addiction recovery scholarship fund.
