Cinderella's Dress by Shonna Slayton

Cinderella's Dress (Fairy-Tale Inheritance, #1)

by Shonna Slayton

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 get complicated.

Kate's aunt, who is suffering from dementia, tries to convince Kate she is next in line to be the keeper of the wardrobe for Cinderella's family--the real Cinderella.

If the family secret is true, this might be the most important role Kate has ever auditioned for. Will she get to the truth before it's forgotten?

If you like fairytale retellings with sweet romance, buy Cinderella's Dress today to find out what happens when magical heirlooms don't disappear at midnight.

This was so sweet. The characters are fully formed and loveable, and the story is woven really well with the retelling and WWII events / culture. I loved it, and plan on finishing the series.
