Here's the summary:
The gates were closed, which Ema found a little strange. There were people coming in and out every few minutes, weren't there?
She gave up the thought in her quest to find something that would open the gates. Finally she found a black box, which she hesitantly spoke into.
"I'm here for the ball," she said.
The box crackled into commission. "The ball?" The person on the other end of the line chuckled and the gates stayed shut. "Sorry to disappoint, but the last guests left a few hours ago," they said before the sound turned to a fuzzy static.
"What?"
***
Ema shouldn't have even been at the ball. It should have been Char. But Lanelle Taylor had forbidden her to attend, and Char had insisted that Ema go in her place.
And now Ema was late to the ball- twelve hours late- and had broken her mother's necklace. And probably her ankle. And Char's dress. Was it even possible to break a dress?
If it was, Ema definitely had done it.
So far the night was going wonderfully.
Ema's pretty much a mix of all of the best aspects of the main characters from LDYH and WTF. She's pretty funny, like Sarah. She's tough- like Veronica. She has Elisabeth's klutziness- which might not be a good thing but it definitely provides for some interesting situations.
Her sister Char, meanwhile, doesn't really have any of the traits of any of the characters who I've met yet. She's pretty much a real-life Disney princess. To prove this, here's a quote of something Char actually says at one point in the novel:
"I just love love! I love being in love, I don't care what it does to me!"
Yeah. She's that kind of person. She's Ema's younger sister by about 3 1/2 years and Ema will do absolutely anything for her.
I don't want to give away too much about the book, because I'm hoping that I'll someday get it published. But rest assured that there's a Prince, a Princess, a shoe, a palace (well, technically it's a Manor House), a stepmother, two stepsisters, several gowns, and a lot of other lovely things.
