She doesn't arrive, but humble Heber Jensen comes by to declare his love. Giving up her dreams, Fanny agrees to marry Heber and they have a hard but loving life together. After many years, Fanny's godmother does appear...should she give up her life with Heber? Oil and acrylic paintings illustrate the text.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: ""Once upon a time in a wild Wyoming town there lived a sturdy girl named Fanny Agnes. She worked from sunup to sundown on her daddy's farm, but she had her dreams.""
Industry Reviews
"The oil and acrylic illustrations show a big shiny world filled with big, shiny, earnest people; the homely shadows give the farm's solidity a reasurring gloss that contrasts with the garish flash of the fairy godmother. Less a revision than a reexamination of a fairy tale, this would pair interestingly with more classic versions of Cinderella."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (09/19/1996)
"...Caralyn Buehner has written a wise and loving story with a measure of magic, while her husband, Mark Buehner, has provided pictures as sturdy and robustly good-natured as Fanny herself."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Michael Cart (11/10/1996)
"A delightful wedding of winsome story and ingenious illustrations; there is no more to be asked of a book."
