On the home front in 1944, Kate wants to do her part for the war effort. She'd prefer filling in for the window dressers at the New York department store where she works, but her mother insists on sending her to audition for roles she never gets.

When relatives arrive from war-torn Poland with a mysterious steamer trunk and an even more mysterious story, her life is about to hit center stage.

Kate's elderly aunt claims she is the keeper of the wardrobe for Cinderella's family--the real Cinderella. Her responsibility is to keep the dress safe and now she wants Kate's help. But the war has taken a toll on Kate's aunt and nothing is as it seems.

Will she get to the truth before it's forgotten?

If you like the nostalgia of a historical novel and the sweet romance of a fairytale retelling, then you'll love this continuation of the Cinderella story. Listen to it today.

As official keeper of the wardrobe for Cinderella's heirlooms, she's learning that balancing alliances between Cinderella's heirs and the stepsister's descendants may cost her more than she's willing to give up.
