When Ella’s father also passes away, she’s at the mercy of a cruel family of strangers. Ella is determined to honour her mother’s dying words and “have courage and be kind.” She will not give in to despair or despise those who mistreat her.
Unaware that a dashing stranger she meets in the woods is a prince, Ella finally feels she has met a kindred soul. When the Palace sends out an open invitation for all maidens to attend a ball, Ella hopes for another encounter with the stranger. Alas, she is forbidden to attend, and her dress is ripped to shreds. But help is at hand: Cinderella’s fairy godmother, armed with a pumpkin and a few mice, might just change her life forever.
