A Stepmother's Story: The TRUE Tale of Cinderella

A stimulating short story that weaves the tale of Cinderella from an entirely fresh perspective — the stepmother's! Learn the truth behind the fairy tale at last.

From the Author: Before Walt Disney ever made Snow White, he made the Alice shorts — brief videos that reimagined Alice's adventures in Wonderland. This is my Alice short. First written in the seventh grade, this tiny tale — like many old film reels — sat in a box for several years before finally being unearthed just prior to the publication of my first novel, Robin: Lady of Legend. What Alice was to Disney, A Stepmother's Story is to me — the first expression of my love for writing fairy tale retellings, now shared with all of you. Though I've remastered some of its formatting and grammar for better publication, the story itself (even down to its precocious vocabulary) is just as it ever was. I hope you enjoy reading my twist on this classic tale!
