THE PRINCESS: AN URBAN FAIRY TALE

The place we are about to visit could be anywhere, the corner of a street, a mall, a pizza parlor, or a field in Kansas. The inhabitants are children who come in every shape, size and color. It is a place kept eternally alive by a lack of love, understanding, or self esteem. This is a little story about leaving it. In flashback we look into the lives of two sisters, ten year old SKEETER and sixteen year old DARCYLEE, as they grow up in the projects and shows us how Darcylee proves to be a positive role model for your younger sister by finding pride and beauty against all odds in her life as a young, unwed, teenage mother.
