An overworked, overstressed social worker named Rose Samson does just that when she makes an idle wish on a mustard seed. Felicity Fortune of Godmothers Anonymous shows up to help. Rose Samson is neither fashion model beautiful nor a twit, and she happily joins forces with Felicity Fortune, a \"Godmother\" who demonstrates that Grimm's fairy tales are still relevant in our humdrum modern world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Fairy godmothers are on a magical budget, so every possible way they can get human beings or animals to assist one another, they will try, rather than using up their magical means. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Felicity encounters many strangely familiar situations: a pretty stablehand named Cindy Ellis is mistreated by her cruel stepsisters. A rock star's daughter, scared of the supermodel she married, runs away from home and encounters seven Vietnam veterans at an encounter session and retreat. One of them might be a big bad wolf, who knows? \u003cbr\u003e In all their encounters, Rose and Felicity try to blend their magical aid with realistic human initiative and social responsibility. Scarborough's fully realized settings and the humor built into the mix of magical solutions and grim reality make this work an entertaining and compelling read. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Ann Scarborough\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1497640229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781497640221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Road Media Science \u0026amp; Fantasy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.72d","brand":"Elizabeth Ann Scarborough","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485443174655,"sku":"9781497640221","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7df1110d-a471-4680-b3c3-16d83f8fc97f.jpg?v=1778049599","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-godmother-elizabeth-ann-scarborough-9781497640221","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
