Runaway Princess: A Young Adult Historical Romance

Other little girls dream of being princesses. Not me…

Princess Louise-Marie is second in line to the throne, living in the palace in the lap of luxury while people on the streets die of starvation.

But she despises her life and feels she’s not cut out to be a princess, let alone a queen.

In this classic tale of courage and daring, set in the turbulent times of the French Revolution, Louise will win your heart as she struggles to seek her destiny away from the oppressive opulence of the Royal Court. Trapped in the palace with a father who loves death sentences, a mother who worships her hairdresser and the malicious gossip of the courtiers, she first runs away when she is nine.

In this coming-of-age story, the reader is royalty. Caught between velvet cushions and a war on monarchy, a marriage of convenience and a fight for love, this story is about all of us learning how to make it through in the real world, and the tragedies that come with it.
