ABOUT THE BOOK:
Amanda Lovelace’s new collection is the fourth in a series of Modern Fairytales designed
to reach the hearts of youth during their most vulnerable years. This volume follows, the
princess saves herself in this one, the witch doesn’t burn in this one and the mermaid’s
voice returns in this one. [Note: Lower case titles reflect the author’s style.] These works
are part of a series under the umbrella of “Women are Some Kind of Magic.” If I had a
daughter living at home and wanted to contribute positively to her self-concept, I would
gift her with a copy of break your glass slippers.

measures, themes such as child abuse, toxic friendships, romantic relationships gone
wrong, sexual harassment and more, break your glass slippers, by amanda lovelace,
belongs in your library. It is a book to be read and discussed with your teenage son or
daughter.
—Michael Escoubas, author of Monet in Poetry and Paint and Steve Henderson in Poetry and Paint.
“A catalog of inspirational and emotional poems that aim to help readers find their own
journey to self-love, tell their own story, and forget about the people who never saw their
worth.” (Parade)
“I adore this new take on the Cinderella story. In empowering and inspiring poems,
Lovelace turns the fairytale on its head, in all the best feminist ways.” (Ms. Magazine)

FROM THE BOOK:
isn’t the love
by amanda lovelace
isn’t the love
of a family
supposed
to be
unconditional?
unbreakable?
if they don’t
love me,
then who
ever could?
she thinks
to herself.
—the first heartbreak.
