April 24, 2010 – Denver CO, and Provo, UT – World class singer, songwriter and now story teller Jeanette Clinger Hurley today announced the release of her enchanted children’s book, The Crystal Prince, Love Is the Only Way, published by Outskirts Press. Through this charming fantasy Hurley brings children, parents and families the message that love is the way to everlasting happiness and that we all depend on each other to see that through.
In Hurley’s tale, Prince Xabian and his beautiful soul mate Jenevieve begin their courageous journey to vanquish the beastly Ganthites, only to find that battles are won with mercy and forgiveness, not weapons, and that love is the transformational miracle in life, and it is simple and it is pure.
Jenevieve is able to bring to the prince’s fragile and ailing heart the everlasting gifts of comfort, joy and peace in order to give him the strength to defuse the horrible anger of the Ganthites. Prince Xabian demonstrates to them the unwavering kindness and unrelenting mercy necessary to overcome them as an enemy and leave in the wake only the miracle of forgiveness.
The Crystal Prince is a very special story to me and came about one night when my husband was very ill with chills and a fever and needed to be comforted. As I sat on the bed beside him caressing his face and hair I felt inspired to tell him a story to get his mind off his pain and discomfort so he could relax and go to sleep. My mind immediately started going through my memories of the different stories I had heard as a child or made up in the past and none of them seemed right for this situation.
Although I hadn’t had my children yet my natural mothering and nurturing instincts kicked in. My heart felt heavy with love and concern and knew this would need to be a special story just for him, a story of faith, hope and love that could encourage him to believe that he would get better soon and all would be well again. All the sudden I started speaking and the words just flowed out of me as if I had told this story a hundred times and didn’t stop until the whole story from beginning to end was delivered. I truly felt inspired and surprised at the same time and knew this wasn’t just another story but a gift from heaven with a message that I should share with the world.
