Ever since her father passed away, seventeen-year-old Ella Cinders has escaped from the pain of losing him by focusing on her dreams-big dreams that all begin with getting out of Pepper Falls, Virginia. Ella has her heart and mind set on becoming a fashion designer... Too bad her stepmom refuses to even look at the brochures for the design schools that Ella desperately wants to attend after graduation.
Her family and friends may not understand Ella's obsession with trading their rural town for big city life, but Ella knows that she has too much talent to waste it by working on her stepmom's horse farm forever. When she wins a free trip to New York Fashion Week, Ella sees it as the first step towards creating the future she's always wanted for herself.
Ella might think she's ready to take on the concrete jungle, but a week in Manhattan will teach her that there's a lot about life that she doesn't knew. For starters, she's about to learn that chasing your dreams can take you on the journey of a lifetime.
