In this inventive take on the traditional Cinderella tale, Fanny Agnes
is a sturdy farm girl with a big dream. Someday, she believes, she will
marry a prince. When the town mayor announces he is throwing a grand
ball, Fanny is convinced her time has come. She puts on her best calico
dress and goes out to the garden so that she'll be ready when her fairy
godmother arrives. As the seconds tick by, Fanny waits and waits.
Finally, she hears a voice. It isn't her fairy godmother-but it is
someone who will change her life forever.
