Cinderella is a new princess bride as the story opens, but helping others in a servant role is deeply engrained in her actions. The King’s mother is coming to visit. She missed the Prince and Cinderella’s wedding. Grandmama would like to see Cinderella wear the blue sapphire tiara she had sent her. The tiara is not in Cinderella’s room, so she goes to the Royal Jewel Vault to look for it. The tiara is not in its special box. Then the royal search of the castle begins. The tiara has not yet been found when Grandmama arrives at the castle. The plot twists and turns as Cinderella and Grandmama waltz about as they each keep their secret about the tiara from the other one. In the end, both Cinderella and Grandmama humbly and apologetically  tell the other their secret about the tiara and in so, begin their friendship.

Each of the nine chapters has two full-color Disney Cinderella illustrations.
