Description
Cicerella is the beautiful debut modern fairy-tale novel by Mitzi Harris.
Cicerella captures the family struggles and personal ambitions of sixteen-year-old Cecilia, who freely narrates her story from the heart. From absent parents to evil stepmother, to fairy godmothers and even a handsome Prince; Cecilia's life couldn't be closer to a real life fairy-tale!
Ever since Cecilia was little, she has always dreamt of being Cinderella. She would wish this when she blew out her candle on her birthday cake, or when she threw a penny in the well. Miraculously, it was as if Cecilia's childhood wish to be Cinderella had become true as she endures her stepmother's painful rules and demands. With her stepmother's demands getting heavier each day, Cecilia becomes weighed down by the constant chores, babysitting and errands that she has to complete to satisfy the needs of her stepmother. Cecilia becomes trapped inside her childhood dream instead of her lifelong ambition of being able to work in the fashion industry. As well as her duties in the home, Cecilia juggles revision for her exams and is preparing herself to leave school for good. Amidst her Italian revision is Marco, a helpful, young man who has her best interests at heart, and soon enough, Cecilia befriends him.
However, when a once in a lifetime opportunity passes her by, will Cecilia be able to fully embrace it, or will distractions stop her from fulfilling her dreams? Is a young Italian boy enough to stir her away from her dream or will the temptation resist? But with her evil stepmother lurking, can Cecilia really pursue the life that she wants, and will she get her happy ever after? The modern-day version of the traditional Cinderella tale is a heart-warming story of how a young girl's struggles become her strengths.
This coming-of-age story reveals how confidence is a battle and how it becomes Cecilia's overall key to success.
