"Mother," announced ten-year-old Pearl one day, "I wanna be a princess."
Her eyes shone as she stood up straighter and said, "I want to wear a royal gown and a royal robe, with rainbows full of sparkles and waterfalls of glittering gold, and a royal crown full of beautiful jewels. I want to sleep in a big, high royal bed with lots of soft mattresses-you know, like in the story. And I want to have a little royal pooch-with a 'tude, but sweet too."
"I want to ride a royal horse, white and tall and splendid," she said, dancing around on her tippy-toes. "I want to go on royal adventures to the beach and the mountains and the forest and the mall and by car and train and plane and bicycle, and treat my friends to royal feasts, and say, 'Won't you please come to tea?'"
Her mother nodded, so Pearl continued.
"And Mother, please," she said, then remembered to slow down to sound more royal. "I want my own wing of the palace, for a Princess needs her privacy, you know."
"Oh, really?" said her mother, and chuckled a bit. "Is that all?"
"That's all. For now," said Pearl.
Her mother smiled and bent down to look into her daughter's earnest eyes.
"Ah, my sweet Pearl, now I see. It is time for you to meet the King."
"The King?" Pearl felt a lot excited, but a little nervous also. "There must be more to this princess thing than I thought..."

After her father is killed in a tragic motorcycle accident the next year, Pearl and her mother and little brother move to Arkansas to start a new life with Uncle Burt.
There, Pearl has lots of adventures; new friends, new pets, new skills, and a new understanding--that being a true Princess means following the true King--and that often, life turns out much different than expected, but that the love of the King always makes things turn out right.
