Editorial Reviews "Georgina Warren seeks to defy the perception of the wicked stepmother in her new book, "Tales of Virtuous Stepmothers." Maybe it is time to trade-in Cinderella for one of the many inspiring stories in her collection and see stepmothers portrayed in a whole new light?!"
- - Laura Jenkins, podcast host, In The Blend, Australia
"Georgina Warren's debut collection is a delightful departure from the weary figure of the "wicked stepmother." In twelve original fairy tales, stepmothers take the redemptive center stage as loving family guardians and encouraging mentors. Drawing inspiration from her own connection with her stepmother, Warren's writing is fresh, imaginative, and heartfelt; her stories are entertaining and charming remakes of stories of the blended family."
- - Michelle LaFrance, writer, Hill Rag Magazine, Washington DC
"It takes great strength to share your personal feelings. Georgina Warren has made her readers richer by elegantly reworking the customary fairytale villainess into an object of admiration."
