The Story: When Baron Beaumont marries a plump widow, seventeen
years after the death of his first wife in childbirth, he discovers
his new wife comes with some appalling baggage: two very ugly
daughters who are immediately jealous of the Baron's beautiful
daughter, Ella Beaumont. When Ella's father is sent to prison for a
crime he did not commit, the ugly stepsisters Ermentrude and Agatha
De Ville take full advantage of the situation. Ella is demoted to
the role of kitchen maid and prevented from attending the Royal
Ball held in June. King Louis is hosting the ball to allow his shy
son, Ferdinand, to meet some pretty girls. After the ugly sisters
have left for the palace with high hopes of meeting some rich lord,
Ella has an amazing spiritual encounter and is given the lost key
to her dead mother's bedroom, a room that had been locked for many
years. After the unexpected arrival of her Aunt Althea, Ella is
dressed for the ball and with the assistance of Althea's coach is
delivered to the palace. There, Prince Ferdinand is captivated by
her beauty and some very extraordinary things occur. Set in the
later eighteenth century, prior to the French revolution, real and
fictional events are intermingled in a lively and entertaining
manner.
