About this book
In this retelling of the classic Chinese Cinderella tale, fourteen-year-old Xing-Xing is forced to serve her cruel stepmother and her pampered stepsister after her father dies. Her stepmother binds the feet of her own daughter to make her marriageable, leaving Xing-Xing to suffer neglect while longing for a way out. When a mysterious shoe appears and a prince begins searching for its owner, Xing-Xing must decide whether to risk everything for a chance at freedom and love.
