But, when EIla's father unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family.

Yet, despite the crueIty infIicted upon her, Ella wiII not give in to despair nor despise those who mistreat her, and she continues to remain positive, determined to honor her mother's dying words and to "have courage and be kind."

But, as in all good fairy tales, heIp is at hand.
