A Curse Dark as Gold

The story of Rumpelstiltskin comes to life with the story of Charlotte Miller. I fell in love with the character and setting early in the novel. However, I read the book slowly because I knew it wouldn't be an easy road for Charlotte. In fact, I even read the last couple paragraphs of the book to make sure it ended okay. This is maybe the first book I have ever done that with. Maybe if I wasn't pregnant and emotional, I could have read through it easier.
Charlotte is a strong character. She is hard working and passionate about her mill. She has a whole host of secrets to sort through as she tries to save her mill and by extension the whole town. Along the way she finds love and now has one more thing to try to protect. In the end, she finds there are many people she can count on to help her and maybe she doesn't need to try to do all this herself.

Very well written. Wonderful book.
