Synopsis: History is told from one person’s perspective. Sometimes they don’t get it right.

Ugly Stepsister Anna has wrongly been accused of being mean and evil. Now it is time she got the opportunity to tell her side of the story.

With Cinderella so perfect and wonderful, it is no wonder Anna feels ugly in comparison. Dealing with bullies, a grumpy mother and the death of her step-father, Anna is at her wits end.

When the Prince’s ball approaches, Anna is told she must find a husband to save the family fortune. Attending with her sisters, the sulky Prince Charming only has eyes for Cinderella.

With the burden of being the only one to unite her step-sister with the Prince, will Anna act as cupid? Or will she protect Cinderella from the arrogant Charming?

A charming twist to the story of Cinderella, told completely from the point of view of the Ugly Step-Sister.

My Review: This classic fairy tale has retold from Cinderella's step-sister Anna point of view.

In this version Anna makes it clear that Cinderella chose to do all the chores and ran around after her step-mother and sisters to keep her mind off losing her father.

When they are invited to the ball Anna tells that her mother wants one of her daughters to catch the Prince's eyes so that their money worries are solved, Anna tells it that all three girls are invited to the ball but Cinderella doesn't want to go.

After being told she is ugly and worthless Anna throws herself at the Prince who is rude and horrible to her, this leaves Anna embarrassed and she leaves and sits in the carriage where she sulks.

While in the carriage she sees Cinderella with the Prince and then sees Cinderella running away and leaving her shoe, so when the Prince goes looking for Cinderella Anna debates if she should tell Cinderella what the Prince is really like but decides against it and so Cinderella ends up with the Prince.
