New York, NY, May 20, 2025 --(PR.com)-- “The Secret Princess: A Tale of Hope” is a 2024 Catholic Media Book Awards Gold Medal winner and a 2025 Independent Press Award Distinguished Favorite (Childrens: Religion Fiction), and it has received the Catholic Writers Guild Seal of Approval.
Each woman of the Kingdom owns a locket that reflects her heart and spirit. The day ten-year-old Miriam learns that Papa died in the war defending their homeland, she watches in horror as Mama’s locket falls to the ground and shatters. Worse still, the bird that lives inside flies away and, in her heartbreak, Mama stops singing. Miriam’s own locket doesn’t break, but between Papa’s palpable absence, her worries for Mama, and Granny’s incessant snipping, it stops growing. The rosebud inside withers, and Miriam fears it will never bloom but die like Granny’s without a bird. Then a mysterious woman named Leena moves into a nearby cottage. A friend to Mama, Leena nourishes Miriam’s rosebud back to life with food and tales of goodness and beauty until Miriam finds what she most lacks—hope.
“A delightful middle-grade illustrated chapter book that weaves Catholic themes and fairy tale elements into a touching story of faith, family, hope, and perseverance. The book is beautifully written. Prins incorporates devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in a way that adds spiritual depth without feeling forced or uninspired.”
