(Now available as an ebook and in print!) A dark retelling of Cinderella in early America. In an age when cutting up dead bodies is considered taboo, Cindy’s father is a mortician. She is happy with their fascinating life, though controversial, until he marries Anna van Burren and two new sisters are brought into the family. After her father’s death, Cindy’s life spirals into darkness as she is forced to become a servant in her own home, wait on her hated siblings, and can’t even let the one man she thinks about know that she is alive. This man is also the object of her step-sisters’ affections, and he must marry before age twenty-one if he is to get his inheritance. That day is fast approaching. All hope for Cindy being that woman – or of salvaging anything that should have been left of her life – seems lost. It takes the appearance of a strange woman who brings a wicked prophecy for Cindy to see how blessed she can become – and to see what sacrifices were made to give her hope once again.

Much to her daughter's dismay, Alexa's mother has fallen in love with the idea of moving into a new house. To make matters worse, this particular building belonged to none other than her very own eccentric uncle that had recently passed away. The property was left in a state of chaos after he'd left, meaning the task of sorting through his possessions and cleaning the place up was left to them. Follow Alexa on a journey of discovery, learning about both herself and the black sheep of the family who used to own the house. It's one thing uncovering the disgusting hobbies her late uncle kept (a mixture of taxidermy, dissection, and ancient methods of torture), but when a series of mishaps leads to her inheriting something from the man she never could have dreamed up, it's up to her to make sense of the crazy situation.
