Lil lives an unassuming life in New York City, working in an old bookstore in Manhattan and keeping an old secret: She was the fairy godmother responsible for matching Cinderella and Prince Charming. But there’s more to this tale.
Carolyn Turgeon is the author of Godmother, The Secret Cinderella Story, about the redemption of the fairy godmother who committed an unthinkable crime: She fell in love with Prince Charming and went to the ball in place of Cinderella. OK, we haven’t read how Turgeon deals with the “Happily Ever After” business – we leave that to you.
Meanwhile, Lil, with her wings tucked out of sight, discovers Veronica, a young East Village beauty in need of, well, a fairy godmother’s guidance in love and princes and so forth. And so Lil takes her shot at redemption.
