Happily Ever After

Sunday, September 23, 2007

During the next month, Princess Bubble will donate 10% of our sales on Amazon to Breast Cancer Research.

Who has not been affected by this disease?

My mother, Linda Johnston, is a breast cancer survivor and most of my friend's mothers have also fought this disease as well.

The message of Princess Bubble is that true happiness come from loving God, helping others and liking who you already are. This is also a breast cancer message. We want every woman fighting breast cancer to know they are a special princess and that true happiness and beauty comes from within.

Our world tells us our beauty is physical (our breast, hair etc.) two things many breast cancer victims lose. But if you have ever seen these women during their fight you have seen their true beauty!

Please join us in this fight. Let's teach our young princesses beauty can never be claim by chemotherapy. Beauty and happily ever after come from within! Hopefully, with more research this will be a disease these girls will never have to fight.

To purchase Princess Bubble and have 10% of the proceeds from the book go breast cancer research visit www.PrincessBubble.com and click on "buy the book."

Happily Ever After to all women and most of all -ALL breast cancer survivors!

Princess Bubble's message is that true happily ever after comes from loving God, helping others and liking who you already are.
We, the authors, are Christians. But, we have had support for our message from many of other faiths. Like, Wendy Shalit of the Modesty Zone. (Great site if you are not familiar) But every now and then, we run in to someone that questions the marketability of a book that mentions God.
Has our country really become God-less? I believe the majority of Americans believe in some higher being. I am sure there is a small percentage of our country that are atheist. But the agnostic people Kim and I have encounter seem to be jealous of our faith. They wish they believed in something; but have just not felt their hearts pierced or touched by God as we have felt.
I would love to hear other people's views. Would you be offended by the mention of God?
We are not changing our message because it is far more important to us to change lives, encourage girls and women and share this message with the world than to be marketable.
God bless America and all Princesses!

This is a recent review from Curled Up with a Good Book.

When I saw the cover of this book, I groaned a little: “Pink and dainty and… oh my goodness, this is going to be too girly-girl for me.” Harsh and judgmental, I know, and I hate to admit to it, but there it is. I sighed and prepared myself for a frilly, froufrou ‘fairy tale.’ By the time I was about three pages in, I realized just how wrong I was: Susan Johnston and Kimberly Webb have written a fantastic tale, and I’m sorry I ever doubted them.Princess Bubble is no Disney princess. She’s not sitting around waiting to be rescued; she’s got a life, a job with Royal Heir Lines that lets her travel the world and see exciting things, a palace of her own, and plenty of princess-y friends to party with. But when all her princess friends start pairing off with princes for their Happily Ever Afters, everyone else starts to wonder why Princess Bubble is being left behind. And when they start wondering, so does she: “After all, that was how every fairy tale ended.” So, under orders from the Queen, she shifts into searching-for-a-prince mode - dating all the available princes, joining prince-finding websites, even kissing a frog!Although she enjoys these adventures as she has all her others, she’s still no closer to finding her One True Love. So she does a little research, thinks about what she’s looking for, and - in true Fairy Godmother fashion - gets an unexpected visitor to give her some much needed advice at exactly the right time.I’ll keep the ending a surprise, as it’s certainly worth reading for, but let me just say that those searching for a happily ever after won’t be disappointed.I liked this book so much that I’m ordering copies for my sisters – none of them children any longer – and a few friends. And I’m making sure that this is the first fairy tale my little niece (just a year old) will be read. It’s smart, funny, and covers a lot of ground that is universal for women (bridesmaids’ dresses? :Shiver:) The illustrations are pink and dreamy, but that’s okay; that’s how they’re supposed to be. Maria Tonelli’s princesses are the expected amount of gorgeous, but they’re also active, simple, sweet and inspirational. And the fact that the authors’ called for – and then included on the inside covers – girls’ representations of how they thought Princess Bubble should look, only goes to show that every girl still has her own version of what a princess can be. You should add this version to your collection. If you think, like I did, that you’re a pretty savvy reader and can judge a book by its cover? Princess Bubble will prove you wrong.
