The Beautiful Doll - Hardcover

by Carrie Stiles (Author), Carrie Stiles (Illustrator)

The Beautiful Doll is a story about an enchanted doll who doesn't quite fit in. She does not look anything like the other dolls in the toy store, and she is the only doll trapped inside a box. She changes her dress and hat a little bit each day hoping someone will take her to that magical place called home. Yet, despite her efforts, no one wants her. One day a little girl notices the beautiful doll and holds her for the very first time. But the doll's excitement is soon crushed when the little girl is forced to leave the store without her. Decades pass, and the beautiful doll is transferred to an antique store where she continues to wait for the little girl to return. She is ultimately hidden in a cabinet, survives a fire, and finally sees the sun for the first time. Her true enchantment is discovered outside in a stunning spectacle just before a handsome stranger sees her rainbow display, scoops her up, and takes her back inside.

The Beautiful Doll is an engaging story of patience and endurance that reminds us we all deserve love no matter what our looks or our circumstances.
