When young Ruth loses her mother and is sent to live with distant relatives she has never met, she enters a world that feels straight out of a storybook-gracious homes, glittering tea parties, and refined society ladies. But Ruth is no ordinary guest. She's quiet, modest, and unsure if she truly belongs in this new world of privilege. Yet as she faces unfamiliar rules, stinging snobbery, and the awkwardness of growing up different, Ruth never loses her sincerity, kindness, and quiet dignity. And slowly, something remarkable happens-those around her begin to change. Through her thoughtful actions and unwavering honesty, Ruth transforms not just her own fate, but the hearts of those around her. In this touching and beautifully told tale, Nina Rhoades reimagines the Cinderella story-not with fairy godmothers or royal princes, but with the true magic of empathy, courage, and staying true to oneself. A Real Cinderella is a heartwarming coming-of-age classic for young readers, perfect for anyone who believes that the real magic lies within.
