But Lil has an intriguing secret. Tucked  and bound behind her back are white feathery wings--the only key to who she once was:  the fairy godmother responsible for getting Cinderella to the ball to unite with  her Prince Charming.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But on that fateful night, something went terribly and beautifully  wrong. Lil allowed herself the unthinkable: to feel the emotions of human beings  and fall in love with the prince herself, going to the ball in place of Cinderella  in her exquisitely gorgeous human guise. For her unforgivable mistake, she was banished  to live among humans, far from her fairy sisters and their magical underwater world.  But then one day she meets Veronica--a young, fair-skinned, flame-haired East Village  beauty with a love of all things vintage and a penchant for falling in love with  the wrong men--and suddenly it becomes clear to Lil that she’s been given a chance  at redemption. If she can find a soul mate for Veronica, she may be able to right her wrong  and return to the fairy world she so deeply longs for.\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e“A terrific book, sweet, touching and great fun.
