Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister is a novel by Gregory Maguire, retelling the tale of Cinderella through the eyes of her "ugly stepsisters." It puts a new view on this age-old fairy tale, questioning how wicked her stepmother truly was, how cruel her stepsisters were, and it asks: was she really forced into becoming the maid of the household, or was it assumed of her own accord?
