      A fair amount of the books here on Goodreads has reviews by their authors, and I have been putting this off because I do not know how I feel about that. So here is a review of my own book? I have had a loving relationship with Fairy Tales my whole life, and when I write I'm sure that seeps into my wording. I enjoy history so I'm sure that shows up in the story as well... I wrote Family Ties when I was 16 years old then when I was 20 I did a little tweeking, such as editing, adding scenes, and even a character Teddy... For the second edition I got the book re-edited and changed the cover :)

      Abby is an average girl in a small town always thinking she can not wait to get out of her town to see the world and adventures that were waiting for her. However instead she is spending her summer vacation with her best friend Cory working in a location Country Club in town (if you leave near Deal NJ, you can kind of picture the resturant that I'm writing about...). Abby walking home alone one night is kidnapped and brought to a world she only knew about in tales of her Great Grandmother that her father told her while she grew up.

      In this book it is told by three POV, Abby, Cory, and Emma (Abby's Great Grandmother). There is wit, friendship, love, and adventure all wrapped up in a tale about not your average Fairy Tale. This is a story where Girl's are not waiting for the knight and shinny armor to save the day, but takes charge. I hope you give Family Ties a try, you will never know how you feel about a book unless you try it.
