Summary from
Goodreads:
The war may be
over, but Kate Allen’s life is still in upheaval. Not only has she discovered
that Cinderella was real, but now she's been made Keeper of the Wardrobe, her
sole responsibility to protect Cinderella’s magical dresses from the greed of
the evil stepsisters’ modern descendants.
But
Cinderella’s dresses are just the beginning. It turns out that the priceless
glass slippers might actually exist, too, and they could hold the power to
reunite lost loved ones like her father—missing in action since World War II
ended. As Kate and her boyfriend, Johnny, embark on an adventure from New York
to Italy and Poland in search of the mysterious slippers, they will be tested
in ways they never imagined.
Because when
you harness Cinderella's magic, danger and evil are sure to follow...
First
book in the series:
My Cinderella Shoes
In high school, one of my prized possessions was a pair of
mint green Chuck Taylor All Stars. To fully understand the uniqueness of these
shoes you have to know that I lived in a small town (aka very few stores, and
none of them selling Chucks.)
I don’t know when my obsession with these shoes started.
Probably from an ad in a magazine! But I so wanted a pair.
I couldn’t buy them off the internet because back in the
day…no internet! *gasp*
Finally, on an unexpected trip to Calgary , Alberta
during spring break I found a store at the mall selling Chucks. It took all the
money I had with me, but I bought those shoes (and a T-shirt saying “Get your
Yucks in Chucks.”) Then a few weeks later, one of my friends took a trip to Vancouver , BC
and came back with a peach pair.
Being the same shoe size, we swapped one shoe each and wore
two different colored shoes—mint and peach—until the end of the school year.
My feet grew a half-size since then, but I kept the Chucks.
They are in one last box of my belongings left at my parent’s house. I thought
maybe my daughter might want to wear a pair of retro shoes one day.
