For over a century, Francis Hodgson Burnett's children’s novel, A Little Princess, has warmed the hearts of readers throughout the world. Now M.D. Couturier, author of The Kingdom Beneath the Well and Christian Fire, has updated this timeless classic for the 21st Century.

When her father, a wealthy financier and Army officer, is called up to serve in the Iraq War, ten-year-old Alice Van Drew is sent to live at the prestigious McGuire School for Girls in Chicago. At first, she is treated like a privileged student and enjoys a luxuriant lifestyle, but after her father is killed in action and leaves her penniless, she's reduced to servitude and abuse at the hands of the school's cruel headmistress. Despite all the hardships, though, Alice is determined to keep her promise to her father that she'll always be a princess.
