Description
Sootface is a classic Cinderella story, which takes place in an Ojibwa village. A young girl is mistreated by her two sisters when her father is out hunting. They give all of their chores to her, and smear her face with ash and soot, thus giving her the nickname Sootface. But one day, an opportunity arises that will change the life of Sootface forever. An opportunity in which her mean sisters will never, ever bother her again. And most importantly, an opportunity that will give Sootface the happily ever after she deserves.
Description
Although she is mocked and mistreated by her two older sisters, an Indian maiden wins a mighty invisible warrior for her husband with her kind and honest heart.
