About this book

At twelve, Marilla works in the Borden household, tending twins and helping in the kitchen after her time at Bethany Home. Warmth, food and a quiet moment by the stove are pleasures she notices closely. When a shining visitor calls her Cinderella and offers to take her to a ball, her familiar world of chores gives way to silk slippers, bright rooms and dancing.

Amanda M. Douglas brings a child's imagination into a family story shaped by work and unequal expectations. Marilla loves pictures, remembers rhymes and amuses the babies with stories, yet the adults around her are quick to demand more help. A later carriage outing sets her delight in the water and countryside beside the strain of holding a sleeping child.
