Two Jeanne M Kipke

Once upon a time, long, long ago, there lived a girl with two eyes. You might say, "Well, everybody has two eyes". Not so! While Little Two Eyes had two eyes like most people, her sisters and mother did not and because of this, they treated her cruelly. But this is a faery tale and of course, a faery saves the day - and surely there must be a handsome prince who becomes enthralled with the suffering protagonist and... well, you know how that usually ends. But this isn't the story of a prince rescuing a helpless damsel in distress. No, it is the story of Two, her siblings and their mother. Oh, and also a magicked goat, a kind baker, a fantastical faery and, yes, I confess, a prince. TWO is a tale for the millennium, featuring an unusual faery named Frey who befriends a girl who has suffered from the cruelty of her mother and sisters. Two's escape from bondage is a story of magic - but also of self-empowerment and love.
