Description
Hello everyone! Today’s podcast is another in my “It’s a Love Story” series, sponsored by my book of the same name, which just celebrated five years of existence. I can't believe how time flies and how this is my twenty-fifth podcast about my favorite love stories! What's even weirder is that I have never podcasted about one of my favorite movies: Ever After! Just listen to this synopsis! This updated adaptation of the classic fairytale tells the story of Danielle, a vibrant young woman who is forced into servitude after her father's death. Danielle's stepmother is a heartless woman who forces Danielle to do the cooking and cleaning while she tries to marry off her own two daughters. But Danielle's life takes a wonderful turn when she meets the charming Prince Henry. Ever After taught us that strong, feisty women know how to throw an apple and hit a moving target, have no problem climbing trees, and can learn to expertly use a sword by the age of eight. We also learned that you should always help an elderly artist who is being robbed by gypsies in the woods. And that a lady's voice should not be louder that the gentle hum of whispering wind. I love this movie with my whole heart. It's not about magic wands or fairy godmothers. It's about true love. Sure, the prince and his bride did live happily ever after. But the point, dear listener, is that they LIVED! EPISODE NOTES: HERE is the trailer to Ever After!
