A strange meeting in the forest. Westley hiding from his father and Nora hiding from her brutalizing step-brother. Nora is made to work as a servant in her step-brother's home, even though she only has one leg and a crutch to get around. Westley has agreed to marry if he cannot create a useful invention. Together they create what we know as a prosthesis. This story is heartwarming and the only truly evil humans in this story is her step-brother and his wife Josephine. The cruelty that this couple inflict is only compounded because they beat a girl with one leg. The fact that the baron tries to set Nora on fire at the ball shows the character of the Baron. This is a Cinderella story told with more cruelty and brutality than the Baroness and the three step-sisters ever inflicted upon the original Cinderella. My hero is Westley Haywood.
