Contrary to popular belief, fairy-tale heroines are not weak and passive. They are noble, brave, optimistic women who know that the formula for success in a chaotic world is to hold fast to their own beliefs despite what fate happens to throw their way. Ultimately, it is their character that saves them, not the prince on the white horse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake Cinderella, for example. Despite having a less than ideal job, she didn't let bitterness and regret give her an ulcer, bad skin, and frown wrinkles.

Everyone will think I'm a loser! \" She had the courage to attend a party alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the stroke of midnight, she didn't cling to the prince's hand and wail, \"Save me from my miserable life!\" She had the confidence to know that if he liked her, he'd come calling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis humorous, heartfelt book shows women how to focus on their strengths and character rather than resort to manipulative strategies to \"land\" a man.
